Looks like the audiobook version of The Dreaded Day Job will be released soon. I’ve sent the file off to go through Audible’s quality control. I don’t forsee any problems, so it should pass through with flying colors and be in your hot little ears within a couple of weeks. When it’s ready for order (or pre-order, if it’ll let me), I will definitely let you know. The voice actor is already working on The Catastrophic Christmas Party and I’ve listened to a couple of chapters and he’s still knocking it out of the park. I can’t wait until he gets to the eponymous Christmas Party. I think he’s going to do great.
I wish I could say the same for The Agonizing Alibi Day. I haven’t touched it in a few weeks, and I’m afraid it’s going to get lost in the shuffle. I really need to make myself sit down and not do any other projects until this is done. I think I am putting a little too much pressure on myself to get to it, which is probably why I’ve gone to other projects. I’m just stuck in this one spot, and I don’t know where to go. The side effects of a withheld whammy are building up to critical and (frankly) disgusting levels. I just need to get over that one little spot and I’m sure the words will flow like a mighty river again. Writing is hard.
There is not much else going on that’s really news worthy. I might do Camp Nanowrimo this year and try to work on something that’s been tickling my mind for a while, just to give myself a little break from werewolves and Evan. The werewolf novel isn’t due until November, so I think I can sidestep it for a while, or work on it while working on the other project.
I am still doing research into Victorian Era England for a possible pair of Gothic novels. The first book I am reading is wonderful! It’s called What Jane Austen Knew and Charles Dickens Ate and it is a complete guide to Victorian England. It’s engaging, wonderful and very, very thorough. I’ve got a couple of other books to read, but this one seems to be pretty exhaustive. Actually, because of it – I’ve had to change a couple of things in one story, but that’s for the better. If you’re doing research into that particular era, or you’re just looking for something fascinating to read – grab this book.
That’s all I have for now. Still like a dog chasing cars on the highway and trying to catch something. Still hawking my wares somehow (look to your right on the screen). Have a good day, and I’ll see you in the next.
