Attitude Adjustment

Hey there.  It’s been a little while since I’ve updated the blog, so I thought I’d best check in and mention what’s been going on.  Well, after a nice visit to a sunnier locale, I’ve returned back to full time work.  It was of course, inevitable!  As much fun as it’s been the last few months to spend time writing full time, it seems the bills won’t pay themselves.

In any case, the impact of full time work on my writing schedule has been predictably harsh.  If my plan was (and it was) to work full time on a new game project, continue writing my moon based epic Tycho Red, all while still writing episodes of Tales of the Invisible Hand for the site…well…yeah, you can see how that went.  Obviously I wrote a cheque I couldn’t cash.

So, I’ve taken the last month to adjust, plan, and pick my best bet.  So far, from the responses I’ve been getting (thank you!), there’s some real promise with Tales of the Invisible Hand.  I’ve already written part two and I’m halfway through three.  The first five parts were intended to have the arc of a novel, so that’s exactly what I’m going to do.  After I’ve written up to part five (by December at current speed), I’ll be shopping it around as a novel, first in a series. This actually makes a lot of sense big picture…Tales of the Invisible Hand is chronologically first in my greater coherent universe anyways. 

In the meantime, I do have another preview chapter  for Super Virus.  It should be available soon at the usual e-stores, if it isn’t already.  I’ll also be adding a page and links on this site shortly.  Super Virus part  one previews another novel to follow down the road.  I may also have one more preview chapter up here before December, you never know.  It’s the last cornerstone in the foundation of my coherent universe arc, and I call it The Black Mariner. 

In any case, Tales of the Invisible Hand, all told, should hit 90,000 words, and as of today, I’m closing in on 45,000. 

I may just have hit critical mass here, folks!

Take care for now,

Miles
