Thursday has come around. This week at Noble Pen, we are going over chapters 2 and 3 for Flight of the Scions. It’s a bit longer piece (around 7k words), but I’m anxious to see if others like it. There are holes in it–I already found some, but I don’t think they are major ones.

I’m really enjoying writing this. It still has that “new writing project” smell. I’ve been distracted with my commission and got the first draft finished last night. Tomorrow, I’ll do the second, then Saturday/Sunday the third. I’ll send it out on Sunday.

If things go well, I’ll probably be writing a chapter or two for Flight of the Scions for Sunday again. If there are others that want to have something, I won’t submit anything, but I’m just having fun. I decided that I’ll only submit something if there is an empty slot.

In other writing news, I started getting my first novel formatted for an ePub. Remarkably, I had most of the tools already, my odt2text program dumped it into a format just slightly wrong. It doesn’t have the illustrations in, but I need to create reduced DPI versions for the reader anyways (72 verses 600 dpi for print). I’m also going to put the amazing cover I got for it. It will be easier than typesetting the book, but I think there is still a bit of effort to make the ePub file look “good”.

I still loving making my self-published books look good, be it in print or on screen. Just a matter of pride, but I find doing it from end-to-end to be just as exciting as doing just one part.
