Feb. 21st, 2014 01:25 pm There are a few things going on to slow my workflow severely. Being tired all the time is slowing me severely, and my vision seems to be changing again. Together it's not the best conversation combination. I'm starting to swap words. I'm distracted because I had to clear out my son's room to finally get his bunkbed put together after months, and still not got it done because the help doesn't show. Sleeping on the floor because much of the stuff is temporarily in my room (don't start me on repairing my own bedframe). These are all small things that should not look as large as they do, so I am fully cognizant that something is messing with my perceptions.
And I mean in a different way from being able to look at a character sheet and absolutely not see particular boxes that are there and become visible after asking where they are.
The ebook version of Selkies' Skins #1 is encountering conversion problems with Smashwords. I have to reformat that version yet again and figure out why (including ye old notepad paste to strip it down to barest bones). I'm also still waiting on the print version's cover to be sent to me. I want this done so I can move faster in the next project.
I have been receiving questions as to if Dragon Shaman 3 is ready yet for beta readers. No, it is not. Neither is Selkies' #2. The chapter I was working on at my mother's last weekend was for Selkies' #2, not D.S.3. There is also the fact that work has begun on Spiese's "A Witches' Prayerbook" as she sends me what she has of her manuscript. And Marantha's work that I must make my way through. I can't work on all projects at once. There is only so much time in a day and it must be split several different ways. What I can do though is for Dragon Shaman do on that site similar to Selkies and keep a tally of the chapters. I do not think I will be serializing that one, at least not yet. The Dragon Shaman novels for now need patience.
This risks turning into a rant, so I will end it here...with one addition. Though I stay at home and do my work here, I am not idle when you see me by the window on my laptop. True, I might be actually getting a little time with my mate and perhaps playing a game. More likely though is that I am doing something for work. If you see me by the window, don't be hurt if I say I can't visit, and if I look confused when I answer the door then you have likely shattered a complex scene I was working with.
