Carpe Blogiem: Author, Patreon, and Blog Highlights – June 2019
Authorial Highlights GURPS SNO-51 has been fully revised and sits in the “freezer” for now. (The “freezer” is where I put all my “finished” drafts until I do a final triple-check before submission). The Calypso-4 Kickstarter “Five Four Perilous Journeys” did an insane $40,000. Adventure #3 is with Douglas and J. Edward Tremlett is […]

Authorial Highlights I ended up asking for (another) extension for GURPS SNO-51. This was done because I wasn’t entirely sure my editing/revision would be finished in the time I’d been allotted. Currently, my editing mark is at 64%. I still need two more examples for the appendix, but I’ve been saving that for last […]

Authorial Highlights I reorganized GURPS SNO-51 and added several missing things reviewers noted. I also added a running example that seems to be working quite well for reviewers. The reorg took me about a week to do right and the example helped a LOT there. I’m almost at wordcount – which isn’t great because […]

Authorial Highlights I finished GURPS SNO-51 – the first draft anyways. The second chapter was much lighter than I outlined it to be, so I’ve got to find something to do with that space. I also am going to need to reorganize the whole thing, add a glossary, and a running example. It’s that […]

Authorial Highlights Work continued on GURPS SNO-51. It’s all coming together in a really great way. I upped my required word count per day to 1,000 and if all goes according to plan I’ll finish sometimes mid-month in March with the first draft. (A 1,000 words the mechanically intensive or research required projects is […]

Authorial Highlights Work began in earnest on project SNO-51. No more dribs. No more drabs. I’ve set myself a work schedule and so far I’ve stuck to it. There have been difficult problems here and there, but I’mve averaging about a 1,000 words per day just on this alone. There are some things I’m […]
