October 4th, 2020…

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.

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.

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.

Reading for the week. The cover images are posted on Pinterest.

September 27th, 2020…

Virus update. We’ve reached 5,669 known cases and 297 dead. This means since last week we’ve had 104 new cases and no new deaths. However, I’m seeing more reports of schools being infected. Sigh. This included the totals from today.

Book news. I’m 13,000 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’m working through around round of self-editing of the second story in Bastet’s Daughters. I plan to send this to the editor in November, which means I’m cleaning it up for her. There’s a problem with the quotes. I have no idea what happened, but all the quotes are wrong. Sigh. Also, cleaning out the redundancy.

I uploaded my thirty-sixth writing video on my YouTube channel. As usual, I talk about the same things I do here but maybe more. I’ve been uploading gaming clips. Most are ten to twenty minutes long. I’m not sure what clip I’ll upload on Wednesday, but I think it’ll be another from Tell Me Why.

Gaming news. I’m playing Kingdoms of Amalur still. I’m close to finishing this since I completed the main story. I have one download content to go through, which came with the remake.

I worked on the new dragon puzzle. I have the frame completed. Pieces are arranged in their boxes, and I added to the image. I haven’t taken nor posted a new picture yet, but when I do I’ll post it on Facebook, Pinterest, Instagram, and Twitter.

September 20th, 2020…

Virus update. We’ve reached 5,565 known cases and 297 dead. This means since last week we’ve had 144 new cases and 1 new deaths. This included the totals from today.

Book news. I’m 11,000 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 uploaded my thirty-fifth writing video on my YouTube channel. As usual, I talk about the same things I do here but maybe more. I’ve been uploading gaming clips. Most are ten to twenty minutes long. I’m not sure what clip I’ll upload on Wednesday, but I think it’ll be another from Tell Me Why.

Gaming news. I’m playing Kingdoms of Amalur still. I returned the content for the Outer Worlds. It was an idiotic move to create content you can’t play unless you restart the game. Most players finished the game a year ago, but the company made it so you can’t return to the ship if you reached a certain point at the end. Annoyed me. It makes no sense to lock people from returning to their ship. The new Xbox goes on preorder on Tuesday! I’m excited!

I started a new dragon puzzle. I have the frame almost completed. I posted a new picture of it on Facebook, Pinterest, Instagram, and Twitter.

September 13th, 2020…

Virus update. We’ve reached 5,421 known cases and 296 dead. This means since last week we’ve had 132 new cases and 1 new deaths. This included the totals from today.

Book news. I’m 9,000 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 republished the Event and Elly’s & Kitty’s story for Dyalessia Friends. The editor has the fourth short story for Crimson Rose, plus Alexandria’s and Christie’s first story for Dyalessia Games and Bastet’s Daughters: Beginnings. I’m sending her those two stories because they were the first ones I wrote and it’s time for them to be improved. The editor should return them in October.

Gaming news. I finished chapter three of Tell My Why. The ending was okay. I was disappointed, but it finished the story the way I expected. I’m playing more of Kingdom of Amalur. The newest content for Borderlands 3 came out, but I didn’t enjoy it. It’s short and you explore a psycho’s brain to find out the reason he’s psycho. Meh. I plan to download the content for The Outer Worlds. I enjoyed this game, so I’m eager to play the new content.

Reading for the week. The cover images are posted on Pinterest. Between editing two books, writing, gaming, and life, I didn’t have time to read. Short list this week.

1) How to Rattle an Undead Couple by Hailey Edwards is book nine in her The Beginner’s Guide to Necromancy series.

2) Moons Over My Maggie by Kate Danley is book eleven of her Maggie Mackay Magical Tracker series.
