Happy Monday! Thanks, everyone, for a great launch. Go forth, my minions, and review! As for me, I’m headed into the word-count cave, which I will have to leave at 4PM. Should you hear a loud tantrum at that time, it’s probably me. Have a good one.

Hi, everybody. I just got done sending out a group message to the beta team, thanking them for their help. But then I thought “Fuck that, they deserve a public thank you, as well.” So… thank you to Team Yes members who helped out with this round. I know everyone always says “We couldn’t do this without you”, but it couldn’t be truer in this case. Though short, these episodes take an insane amount of work, and without y’all’s guidance, I’d have given up long ago. THANK YOU!

I’m pre-coffee and it’s Monday, so I don’t guarantee much by way of coherence in the following update: We’ll be wrapping up beta this week. Episode 13 still needs some cuts and clean-up, but we’re getting there. Soon. I promise.

Just a few things today: Episode 13 finally made it out to beta readers, so we’re getting a lot closer! I’m having trouble deciding what to release as an excerpt. I might not even release one before the book releases. Once you see how the episode is built, you’ll understand why I’m having trouble. The spoiler-potential is astronomical on this one. I am rebuilding the ebook code for episodes 10 – 12 to make it easier later on when I want to mush everything into one volume. If you get update notices for these files, that’s why. Back into the coding cave with me. Have a good one!

From deep in the last-minute revisions cave, I emerge briefly to congratulate our July, 2015 Giveaway winner: Kathryne Congrats, Kathryne! I would stick around and celebrate, but I reckon y’all would rather have Episode 13 than a blog post, so… Yeah. Congrats again, and good luck this month, everyone else.

I’m posting this at the request of two of our alpha readers. They advise that it might be helpful for readers to revisit FH Season One before picking up Episode 13 (aka The Episode No Josh Fan Should Miss. Also The Episode That Almost Killed Its Author). Now, normally when I hear something like this from an alpha-reader (or a beta-reader) I would take it to mean I’m not doing my job well enough to help people remember names and events. But then I remember I’m writing a serial, not a series, and not a small one, either. We tend not to waste a lot of words on anything; few… Read More

Rather a lot more excitement around here yesterday than I’d really like; major storms, power out for 8 hours. Parts of town STILL have no power after 14+ hours. /wince One good thing did come of it, however. My children will never again mock me when I tell them they had better get their phones on the charger in case the weather gets as bad as the forecast says. And now to take advantage of all this glorious electricity to get some revisions done… Have a great Monday!
