Writerly Ways
Jun. 2nd, 2018 03:44 pmI've got nothing but links today, mostly because my hands are killing me from typing and cleaning and neither of those things have gotten done, not nearly as much as they should. Sigh. I could use a set of eyes for the steampunk set in Newport.
At least I got the Christmas story out the door!! Also I have release dates Nov 18 - Blood Red and May 19 - Modified and Sacred
ETA- Changed my mind. I WILL be working on that post apocalyptic solarpunk because the first line is not due in june but by august first and the solarpunk the day before. And the first line is WAY shorter than I thought (i.e. by like 5K) so it'll be easier to finish as I'm already over the min. word count.
And from around the web (none from Betty this week. I'm getting this out ahead of when she usually emails me!)
