I’m done – kind of.

A few minutes ago, I just submitted the “full draft” of my current project. Granted, it’s still missing some ancillary bells and whistles, and some planned balancing features, but the project is, for all intents and purposes, “complete”.

Honestly, I thought I’d be able to announce this project way before this point. The fact that I haven’t has been an interesting experience to say the least. I cannot count the number of times I’ve overheard or read something which really made me want to talk about it. I understand the necessity of an NDA in this case, but I do wish my publisher could have played a little faster and looser with the timeline here.

That being said, I will definitely be able to announce what this project is by this time next month, you can absolutely count on that.

If you’re looking for some of my writing that isn’t under NDA though, this month’s Soldier’s Guide to the Infinite Sea, Adventurer’s Guide to the Fledgling Realms, and Creator’s Guide to Writing and Worldbuilding, are all up for your perusal.

I’m currently about halfway through the last branch of the last act of this project that I still can’t talk about. It’s nearing about 900k total words in length now, and I wouldn’t be surprised if the total word count tops a million by the time I get the epilogues and the reference materials done too.

As for what it actually is, that still has to wait. I’ve been told I can’t announce until a trailer’s ready, and that won’t be done until the art’s done, and the art… might still be a little ways off.

In the meantime however, this month’s Soldier’s Guide to the Infinite Sea, Adventurer’s Guide to the Fledgling Realms, and Creator’s Guide to Writing and Worldbuilding, are all up, so take a look at those (including some notes on my next project) to tide you over.

Not much of an update this month. We’re kind of in the middle of a heat wave, so any kind of extraneous movement is about five times more uncomfortable than it would be otherwise.

I have still been working on my current project though, to the point where I’m now about halfway through the second branch (out of three) of the final act. That means an announcement for what it actually is should be months – if not weeks – away.

In the meantime, this month’s Soldier’s Guide to the Infinite Sea, Adventurer’s Guide to the Fledgling Realms, and Creator’s Guide to Writing and Worldbuilding, are all up.

It’s been another month working on the project I still can’t talk about yet. To be honest, I’d have thought I’d be able to announce it by now. I’m maybe only a few months from finishing it up. Of course, announcing isn’t my decision either way, so I guess it’ll be up to higher powers than me to decide when we’re ready to go public.

This month’s Soldier’s Guide to the Infinite Sea, Adventurer’s Guide to the Fledgling Realms, and Creator’s Guide to Writing and Worldbuilding, are all up. The last of these is the transcript of a Q&A session about the project I plan on working on after the one I’m currently doing (don’t worry, this one won’t take 5 years). The questions are from my backers on Patreon, who support basically all the writing I do, so if you’ve got the money to throw at me, I’d be happy to take it.
