Month: October 2020

Virus update. We’ve reached 6,727 known cases and 306 dead. This means since last week we’ve had 410 new cases. This includes the totals from today. I’m not sure what happened, but I had the wrong death total last week.

Book news. I’m 23,000 words into the 40k to 50k I’d prefer Isabella’s, Cassidy’s, and David’s werewolf story for Bastet’s Daughters and 22,000 into Kira’s litRPG story. I have about seventeen to twenty days left of writing for these. I plan to work on them in November and I’ll see how close I am to finishing them. If I need to, I’ll work on one to complete it so I can have it edited in December for my January release.

If you want a free short story set in Bastet’s Daughters where Felia meets Bastet, I offer it if you join my mailing list.

Speaking of my mailing list. I sent out my October newsletter. If you’re on the list, check your spam folders for it if you can’t find it.

I uploaded my fortieth writing video on my YouTube channel. As usual, I talk about the same things I do here but maybe more.

Gaming news. I’ve been working on questing through the original game with a Warlock I started months/years ago. I can’t recall. She’s an older character. I’ve reached level 40 with her and I have half a continent left to quest through before I move on to the Burning Crusade ones.

I didn’t have time to work on the dragon puzzle.

Reading for the week. The cover images are posted on Pinterest. I’m rereading the Hollow series because the new one came out this year.

1) For a Few Demons More by Kim Harrison is book five of her Hollow series.

2) The Outlaw Demon Wails by Kim Harrison is book six of her Hollow series.

3) White Witch, Black Curse by Kim Harrison is book seven of her Hollow series.

4) Black Magic Sanction by Kim Harrison is book eight of her Hollow series.

Virus update. We’ve reached 6,317 known cases and 317 dead. This means since last week we’ve had 286 new cases and 17 new deaths. This includes the totals from today.

Book news. I’m 21,000 words into the 40k to 50k I’d prefer Isabella’s, Cassidy’s, and David’s werewolf story for Bastet’s Daughters and 20,000 into Kira’s litRPG story. This means I’ve hit the halfway point for both. If I figured out the weeks left for these two stories, they should be done early December.

I uploaded my thirty-ninth writing video on my YouTube channel. As usual, I talk about the same things I do here but maybe more. .

Gaming news. Warcraft. Tons of it. The new leveling system makes leveling easy. I started a priest and she’s halfway to max level already. It’s… interesting. I plan on playing more this week, once my work/writing is done.

I did work on the dragon puzzle. I’ll add a picture on Pinterest, Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter soon.

Reading for the week. The cover images are posted on Pinterest. I’m rereading the Hollow series because the new one came out this year. Because of gaming, I didn’t read much this week.

1) Every Witch Way But Dead by Kim Harrison is book three of her Hollow series.

2) A Fistful of Charms by Kim Harrison is book four of her Hollow series.

The fourth story for Crimson Rose has been published.

I uploaded my thirty-eighth writing video on my YouTube channel. As usual, I talk about the same things I do here but maybe more. I stopped uploading gaming clips because one had been flagged for copyright violation. It had music on it from the game. Speaking of social media. Instagram has a follow limit of 7,500. I hit this, so I’m unable to follow anyone. I’ve been working on clearing out old accounts, but they only allow you to unfollow a certain amount before they restrict your account. I’m not sure if I’m going to keep messing with unfollowing or what I’ll do.

Gaming news. Not much gaming this week. I plan to play Warcraft to experience the new leveling system which comes out on Tuesday. I’m waiting for the new games and to see if the Xbox will be delivered. Watch Dogs. Cyberpunk 2077. Assassin’s Creed. Farcry. Dragon Quest. Fenyx Rising. I’ll be inside during the winter gaming when I have time! Grins.

I haven’t worked on the dragon puzzle. Will see if I can fit it in this week once I finish my self editing.

My first story and the first one for Dyalessia Games was part of my order to the editor for October. I republished it today and Amazon finished updating it.

Working through these edits for my older stories in Dyalessia Games/Friends, I decided to create the cast of characters. The first part has been added to my web page. It’s a work in progress. Once I finish, I’ll post about it again.

Working with an editor, we’ve been delving into my stories from three years ago. I’ve revised the first book for Bastet’s Daughters. With it being live, I’m posting the link:

Virus update. We’ve reached 5,786 known cases and 299 dead. This means since last week we’ve had 117 new cases and two new deaths. This includes the totals from today.

Book news. I’m 16,000 words into the 40k to 50k I’d prefer Isabella’s, Cassidy’s, and David’s werewolf story for Bastet’s Daughters and Kira’s litRPG story. I have twenty-nine pages left to work through this second round of self-editing of the second story in Bastet’s Daughters. I plan to send this to the editor next Sunday, which means I set a personal deadline of finishing it by mid-week. I’ve trimmed about six thousand words from it. I know when I wrote it, I didn’t know half of what I’ve learned since. I’ve tried to remember, but I don’t think I had access to Grammarly nor ProWritingAid. I’ve run the chapters through Pro, which helped fix errors I didn’t notice. I should receive Crimson Rose’s fourth short story by the end of the week. The first story for Dyalessia Games and Bastet’s Daughters was included in the order, so I’ll go through those and fix them. I’ve posted the cover for Crimson Rose’s fourth short story on my web page.

I uploaded my thirty-seventh writing video on my YouTube channel. As usual, I talk about the same things I do here but maybe more. I forgot to upload a gaming clip this week. I’m not sure if I’ll upload another this week. I’ll see what happens. There’s a lot going on.

Gaming news. I finished playing Kingdoms of Amalur. Back to doing Diablo 3 runs. I was eager to play Warcraft’s new expansion although it wasn’t planned until later this month, but it’s been delayed until later this year/next year. Sigh. Every game I wanted this year has been delayed. However, the level squish and other features are being released next week.

I haven’t worked on the dragon puzzle. Will see if I can fit it in this week once I finish my self editing.
