More about Perpetual Casino

Perpetual Twilight had a 2nd part, but I thought the 2nd part was sort of weak, so I just published the strong first part. Dooley was a character from material that was cut from Perpetual Twilight. The renditioners were also cut from Perpetual Twilight. I put Mike & Jake together in Perpetual Casino, so I could work in the rendition thread. Jade was also a character from material that was cut from Perpetual Twilight, but Jade never had a gun in the unpublished material. Several more downloads of Perpetual Casino today, thanks much for that.

Perpetual Casino

The new free short story is named Perpetual Casino. It's now published on Smashwords.com. Today was the first day the eShort was available for download. There were many Perpetual Casino downloads today, thanks much for that. Somebody also bought Perpetual Twilight today, a BIG thanks for that, whoever you are!

Work and new eShort

Pretty entertaining Friday at work today. Talked to several people, did some joking around. Another group in the building has balloons. I asked a girl in that group for a balloon. She brought one in the afternoon. We laughed about that. The new eShort is pretty much ready to publish, just adding a few ironic tidbits at the end. Still needs a final edit. I'm shooting for publishing on Sunday 8/22 or there abouts. This one is pretty good, I like it a lot.

River City Adventure

There is an ending for the River City Adventure. Some good stuff here. 6000 words. Todd, Flo, Lucy, Jade, and Randy return in a fun short story. Still needs a final edit, but it's looking good.

More shakeups at work

At work, there's a big reorg afoot. It's the aftermath of the layoffs. We've been told some programmers may change managers. There's a meeting Friday, to discuss the reorg I presume. No matter what happens, I see the reorg as a positive thing, we will finally know the 'go forward' plan. Over 4500 words on the River City adventure. It's not feeling near done yet.

River City Adventure

Over 3500 words on the River City eBook. I think it's going to be a long one, I don't see an end in sight yet.

River City Adventure

Worked a bit on the new eBook. Watched some tv. I'm off to bed.

More about Perpetual Ray

It's now been a week after my latest eBook submission on the smashwords.com web site. Some people have downloaded the free eBook. Thanks much to them. Smashwords is the electronic version of self-publishing. In the old days, self-publishing meant paying somebody to print your book and that seemed like a con job. But, now we've progressed to the point where the only cost of publishing is your copyright fees. I wonder if I should write something less absurd, start a new series. I added a page to the River City eBook, don't know where that's going, yet. Some memorable new characters are introduced.

Limbo

Haven't written much since Perpetual Ray was released. The writing on the new eBook stalled. I guess it's time to change the scene and move it along. Work was quiet, today was the Monday after the Thursday layoffs. When we're out of our cube, those of us that remain merely wave at each other in the hall, there is little talk. There is no talk about our group moving to the new headquarters building, nobody cares about that anymore.
