Writing and Other Interesting Bits

This time, I really have no excuse for the delay in updates except for a massive bout with procrastination.

In short, I still have no computer, but my mother has graciously allowed me to use hers. I still can't write as much as I want to thanks to the move and Real Life, but things are looking up for me.

I've received my first major round of editing for The Requiem of Janus, and I will tell you all this much: It's definitely going to be a different book by the time you guys get to purchase it. I'm rather proud of the new way it's turning out and I know you will all enjoy it as much as I do. It's better, it's deeper, it will tear your heart to pieces. At least, I hope anyway. Still, May is a long way in coming, though it seems short with all the work I have to do.

I'm nearly done with the rewrites of Aftermath as well. I've added at least five chapters to the length of it as well as altering the ending slightly. There are new scenes, rewritten scenes, the works. Pretty soon, it'll be ready for me to try and sell. I'm currently researching who best to introduce it to. It's one of my favorite fics so I'm hoping to get a good response from it.

Now, for the real news.

I've decided to try and sell a few of my non-marketable books on my own. Books that I would either find difficult to market elsewhere or that I feel would be better enjoyed with changes imposed on me. These I plan to sell myself aka self-publish. At first, they will only be downloadable files but as time goes on, I will likely market them as print on demand as well.

At the moment, I have decided on three stories to market on my own to start: Walking Delusions, Fallen Angel Fallen God, and The Finer Points of Thievery which is a piece of the War of the Animum series.

Now each story will have added scenes and bonus chapters as well as being fully edited and rewritten. I will commission covers for each story as well so that those willing to purchase a copy will be privileged to seeing something new while keeping something to entertain those who wish to read free material.

I am also making a greater effort at announcing things in my livejournal. I'd like to keep this the hub of information about my original works and my fanfiction works as well. I will announce all emerging published fics here, as well as keeping up the reviews of my fanfiction, my stories, manga, other fanfic writers, original writers, so on and so forth.

I may, occasionally, need a kick in the arse in reminder to keep my promises. I welcome any of you to prod me if I've fallen off the wagon.

Well, I think that's enough blabber for today. Keep your eyes peeled in the future!
