Congratulations to Stephen B. Bagley, Kay Watt, and Bruce Betker! Your prizes will be en route this week.

A few weeks ago, I wrote about being stuck from what I thought was over-plotting. I got some writing done, and then I worked on backstory for a while.

In the last couple of days, I’ve re-read the end of Awakening In The Dark and realized I’d started writing Red Sky In Mourning before editing was finished. The changes I made to the end of the book didn’t match up with the beginning of the next book, so I’ve started again. This is why plotting hasn’t worked well for me, but there is still a lot I can use. It’s likely the parts I’ve changed can be repurposed for future scenes. If nothing else, they can be used in the Cutting Room Floor feature for the newsletter.
