Quick update, as I am in the middle of multiple things.
First of all, photo of my morning view with a misty chill, yay~ 🌬️
I am writing a new story, which may end up being a novel. It is set in the same universe as the other two recent works. For now, it is going by the name Star Augur. It is very much in a stage of early development, but I rough-drafted the first chapter today and am really enjoying it so far 😁.
The novella, Ancient History, is going through beta reading and editor reviews. I should have complete feedback by the end of December and hope to finish it by late January, depending on the nature of the feedback. At that stage, I will have to decide if I'm going to find an agent/publisher or self-publish via Kindle or some other means. No easy thing, as one takes time and is potentially humiliating, and the other involves my own cash investment (for cover art, typesetting, etc.), and also possible humiliation 😂🤣.
I've also been getting reader feedback on Gem Finder. Some revisions are possible, but it may be a while until I actually do them, and maybe not until the story is tucked into some form of an anthology. Or, I may just leave it alone. It could stand as a milepost on the way to other things. There is no end to fiddling with stories in the pursuit of illusive "perfection" 😅.
On an unrelated front, I have a second job interview tomorrow morning, which is fantastic because I need to be able to afford my lavish writerly lifestyle 🤣 - wish me luck! ☘️🍀
