Near End of Year

So the Christmas season has been way crazy, with celebrations and preparing to move, so I apologize for the lack of updates.

I've recently downloaded Scrivener and have been working on In Chaos Forged in it, and I have to say, it's been pretty fun.  Scrivener allows you to access your manuscript, notes, references, etc. all in one program.    It's a lot more convenient than having to open multiple windows in a regular word processor, and having to jump to different windows to access notes.  With a complex story like ICF, it's vital that I have access to such notes, preferably without the frustration of having to locate the right window.

I'm doing a trial run in it right now, but I may end up purchasing the program, something I don't normally do.  I've been spoiled by opensource software.

I also did some videos of me working on Libera Battle card art.  Please enjoy!







Everyone have a great New Year!

Keyboard Jammin'

Ever since I set goals to revise and/or write at least 500 words a day (excepting Sundays), doing so has now become a wonderful habit that I look forward to every day.  Setting goals and scheduling things has certainly helped me to set a certain lifestyle, and even though I'm still improving my habits and lifestyle, so far working on them has been fulfilling.

I've been more interested in doing videos lately, especially since I rediscovered Windows Movie Maker (you can get it in the Windows Essentials 2012 pack thing if you have PC).  I want to do some book trailers, and I would eventually like to do a regular video series of some sort.  I plan on doing more revision and writing videos, as I love to share my craft-in-progress with y'all.

Readers, what would you like to see me talk about?  Would you like to do a question and answer session on video?  If you have suggestions or questions, please leave me a comment!  I love to hear from my readers.

With steady writing and revision habits, work on In Chaos Forged and Gift Search have been very regular, and I am chipping through both manuscripts.  It's been so cool to revisit the Legend of Draconite and really expand my original vision with the series.  It will be an amazing day when I publish Book 5.

I've been putting off revision on Book III of the Legacy Incarnate: Incarnate Memory because of work on both of the before-mentioned projects.  Even so, I go back and look at the LI manuscripts often and read through parts of them to remain familiar with the story and characters.

Life is exciting!
