The Grey Wolf Posted March 10, 2021 Share Posted March 10, 2021 (edited) Thanks for the feedback everyone. (So far most people seem to prefer the pink-and-purple version.)

The Marquis de Leech Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 March continues to be a solid month for work on Old Phuul. I'm now at five full chapters, totalling 26,000 words. Better yet, they are good words - the sort that (hopefully) won't need massive revisions later. Derfel Cadarn and The Grey Wolf 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Grey Wolf Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 I have worked out with our editor all the changes for “The Mahdi’s Final Death”, “Promontory”, and “The Dragonslayer”. Also figured out how to give y’all more bonus content. Starkess and The Marquis de Leech 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Patrek Posted March 29, 2021 Share Posted March 29, 2021 Still waiting to hear back from my agent regarding The Evil That Men Do. My mom was diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumor a few weeks back, so writing new material has been put on hold for now. But I've written 24 manuscript pages for the sequel, Blood For Blood. And I have the opening scene for the prequel, The Thing That Should Not Be, ready to go in my brain and I just need to sit down and write it. The same goes for two short fiction pieces. So the well of ideas hasn't gone dry yet. . . The Grey Wolf Strikes Back, SpaceChampion, Starkess and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Grey Wolf Strikes Back Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 (edited) Worked out with our editor all the changes for "Girl in Blue" (my personal favorite) and "Anathema (Part I)", which concludes my portion of the anthology. (Haven't had time to implement anything yet sadly.) Also commissioned artwork for "Anathema (Part II)" (and yes, I know I am getting ahead of myself but I couldn't help it). Sorry about your mother @Lord Patrek. P.S. Trouble logging in with Facebook again, hence the new account.

Derfel Cadarn Posted April 8, 2021 Author Share Posted April 8, 2021 Sorry to hear your loss, @Lord Patrek Learned yesterday my employer doesn’t require to read Diabolic Immunity, so now free to actively hunt for agents It’s been sent to two, got a third in mind. Meanwhile giving it another readover to hunt for any typos I may have missed. Work goes well on The Blood Hour; most of what remains is to add in some flashback and flash forward chapters, and then redraft it. I need to flesh out the characters more. Will also need to see about sensitivity readers to check for any unintended stereotyping.

Maybe you should have given it that readover before sending it out? I had, but like to do it again after a gap. I only sent out first few chapters which are fine. Both agents generally take 8-10 weeks to reply, so unless they’re super-quick I’m fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lin Meili Posted April 14, 2021 Share Posted April 14, 2021 Hi guys, have you heard of Kindle Vella? It will be launched in the next few months! Quote We're introducing a new storytelling option: Kindle Vella. With Kindle Vella, U.S. based authors can publish serialized stories, one short episode at a time. In the next few months, readers will be able to access Kindle Vella stories in the Kindle iOS app and on Amazon.com. I think I'll give it a go! Anyone else looking into this?
