Catching up

 Not a great deal to report, I'm afraid.  A lot of life events have interfered this year, and I've been very unproductive.  Still forward progress, but definitely no releases in the near future.

Currently in a heat wave - three days of high 30s, and overly hot nights, and then a week of rain and overly hot nights.

I've created a bluesky account (https://bsky.app/profile/autumnwriter.bsky.social) for occasional posting.

A new year!

I hope it's a happy one for you all.

I'll try to post more frequently this year - I cut myself off last year in order to concentrate on finishing Starfighter, but that turned into way too many months of silence.

I'm currently working on Chapter 1 of Tangleways.  To prepare, I listened to Pyramids twice using Google books text to speak (so convenient).  The Trifold series is such a deep and complex world that even my glossary isn't enough and I will probably listen to Pyramids a few more times over the next couple of months.  Fortunately I really enjoyed listening to it - I think it's probably the best book I've ever written (though I will try to surpass it, of course).

Tangleways brings a greater focus on Eluned, with far fewer chapters from Rian's point of view.  It might even technically count as young adult.

Other than my slow-progress writing, I am reading a lot of manga and watching a bunch of anime.  I haven't really followed anime for a few years, but I'm in the mood for it at the moment, so having a bit of a glom.

Playing Subnautica, which is good, but I'm constantly in need of precious metals. :/

Excuses, excuses

My Steam history might explain why there's no new book this year, but it's more just reading.  I've been exceptionally inclined...
