1/24/23 --- Almost done editing Cowmelot...

 I'm so close to finishing up the last chapters of The Quest for Cowmelot! Obviously there's still more writing to do, but that will be much easier now that I've cleaned up the story a bit and have a better direction for where I'm headed. I fully plan to be writing chapters by the end of the this week if not sooner. 

I also finished up the first chapter for the Atlaran book and passed it off last night. That one will probably take us the better part of the year to write, but I think it'll be another great one like the last. I'm very tempted to write a companion book to the series about one of my characters, or maybe just start throwing in standalone books about other characters in the same world, but I'll have to talk to Taiylor about that since it is their world. Not to mention, they'll have to edit it so that it remains consistent with the rest of the world lore. However, that will have to wait a bit because I'm a little too swamped for more projects at the moment.

I plan on working a bit more on Beta's Bliss tonight. I went ahead and got the new cover ordered, so that should be here in a week or two. I'll get the preorders up as fast as I can, but I need to come up with some sort of blurb for it before too long. I order the paperback at the same time I order the ebook cover, so I need it in order to complete the order. Hopefully, I can grind that out in a couple of days and get that out to them.

Feeling a bit better today. I'm still pretty burnt out at work, but I'm finding new ways to deal with it that aren't detrimental to my health. My hope is that things level out a bit as we bring more people on so I'm not so crushed by our volume.

Well, that's about it today, not a whole lot going on. Just trying to get all that editing and those words on the page so I can keep turning out books this year!

See you tomorrow.
