Last week I wrote a little over 9K and wrapped the Future Earth Series. Now, during this week and the next, I probably won’t be writing much, since I need to go through all the 5-and-a-half books to make sure they flow… and 10 and 11 won’t get to the proofreader until next week.
The cover reveal event will be on this very blog on Sunday, July 27! There will be giveaways and I’ll introduce you to the new covers for the old titles, as well as the new titles, so mark your calendars (or follow this blog, LOL!)
It’s been fun, and interesting – a new way of writing a series for me, but then, this series is different from the others. It has numbered books for a reason! π
I don’t know yet what I’ll write next, but probably I’ll stick to vampires, in the past, possibly, since the two I want to mention don’t survive the apocalypse – well Bran’s first fledgling doesn’t survive the Roman Empire, LOL!
And meanwhile, there’s another anthology out! One again Mighty Zon proved difficult, but we made it! The paperback is not ready yet, but the ebook is live everywhere… Check out More Future Earth and this batch of new stories.

/ 15/07/2020Awesome about the writing progress, and managing to get the new anthology sorted. π
From what I’ve seen, some people – regardless of the genre they write in – are writing something pandemic related as a way of coping, while others are intentionally writing anything but, and still others are having the problem I’ve had where writing at all is a real struggle. I have a couple of poems I wrote several weeks ago – when I got to the point where I could face doing so – about the situation, but I don’t know if I’ll be writing something pandemic related other than poetry. At least, I don’t plan to as it stands at the moment. You never know though. Maybe when I can get some time to hang out with my muse when I’m not so tired I don’t care what she has to say I’ll get an idea and end up doing so after all. But to be honest, I feel like I’ve written and thought about it more than enough already.

/ 15/07/2020still waiting for the paperback of the antho, but at least the ebook is live. Sigh.
And as you might have seen in the Street Team FB group, I know how to write about COVID now! π
I’m kinda tired too – wake up too early and then yawn all afternoon – but it must be the summer heat. We’ll get through it this year too…
Hugs

/ 16/07/2020Well, like you said, at least the eBook is live… It’s a start. You’d think things would be quicker these days with all the wonderful modern technology items we have, so it baffles me how things actually take longer these days instead.
Anyway, yeah, I saw that on Facebook. Though I don’t remember if I acknowledged the post or not… Definitely remember reading it though. Glad you figured that out, and I look forward to seeing how you handle it. π
Also, I realized while trying to sleep last night that I’d forgotten about something: there is something else I was going to write other than poems to do with the virus. I was going to expand that bit from my comment that you mentioned was pretty much a piece of flash fiction. Remember? The bit with the droid brandishing hand sanitizer… I even have it mentioned in my document for story ideas and notes, but totally forgot about it when I was commenting yesterday. I claim tiredness as my excuse for forgetting.
Our temperatures are thankfully staying cooler than yours – we’re getting quite a few mild storms, which aren’t lasting long, but are helping to keep the temperature from getting like yours – but it’s still warmer than I like. There’s physical exhaustion to deal with from all the moving related stuff too… Another reason I’m thankful it’s not as hot with us as it is with you. Still, the two things combined, along with the fact sore muscles and warm temperatures mean I’m not getting much sleep, means I’m also dealing with the being tired before the day gets started thing. I just want to find a cool and quiet place to sleep, and stay there for several days.
