Afterglow

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.

Progress

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.

Fair Warning

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).

We’ll have another giveaway as soon as ACX coughs up some prize codes =)

Not that I’ll see much of him because my nose will be pressed so firmly to the grindstone this week I’ll see nothing but sparks. Have a great week!

PSA

I haven’t done this in a while. Maybe never under this pen name, but I think it’s worthwhile to post a reminder now and again. HOW TRADITIONAL PUBLISHING REALLY WORKS Legitimate publishing houses NEVER CHARGE YOU MONEY. If a publishing house has expressed interest in your work but wants to charge you OUT-OF-POCKET for editing, cover art, distribution, placement or anything else, it’s a scam. (The only possible exception to this is a contractual thing where an author might be charged by a legitimate house for making excessive changes at the galley stage. These charges and terms will be clearly stated in the contract; such clauses exist to save certain… Read More
