September Check In

So what are your writing plans? It's good to take stock of what you've done and where you're headed every once in a while. I just recently went through a lot of my boneyard stuff to decide what would help me out in my next manuscript. I'm also considering a lot of new things, too, something that preoccupies my mind a lot these days. 

But beyond that, I'm most excited that my stuff is in front of agents. Pitch Wars is a wonderful opportunity that's really forced me to get my butt moving on this novel. I've been poking at it, editing, rearranging, rewriting, and just overall  messing with the novel for a long time. I've never felt like it was quite ready, like there was always something I could do to improve it. I'm sure that's not a terrible mindset to have, but eventually the book has to get in front of others. Pitch Wars having such a short window of opportunity really forced me to step up. Now I just have wait. And wait.

So while I'm waiting I have my short story to work on. And a few game reviews to get in. I'm still pretty happy with the game review gig. Not every game is a gem, but I'm getting free videos and getting my name out there as a published contributor to multiple websites. Exposure is never a bad thing when you're trying to build your brand. 

Also, I really need to get that short story knocked out. I'm 1/4 to 1/2 through. I could probably brute force it in a few days if I did absolutely nothing else, but I've been focused on so many other things. It's a strange little story that's been testing my abilities since it's not my usual fare. I've had difficulties matching tones and characters, but I think it's still coming out nicely and I'm excited to complete it and get it out to all of you.

That's about everything for today. I gotta get back to the coal mines, because on top of all this writing, I have a few awesome surprises I can't wait to announce. Until then.
