A huge and penultimate Teratogenesis update today. There is only one chapter remaining and then it’s done. I can’t quite believe it. Mostly because it’s not necessarily true. There’s still the editing, the two missing chapters (which will foreshadow Lyall’s return) and Trudie’s prologue and epilogue to write.
Then I’ll have to design the ebook, market the ebook, write the theme tune, sing the theme tune… It’s a year in and I’m only just beginning.
I’ve got something special planned for the cover, which will hopefully avoid me having to hack something out of Paint and be useful to someone else.
I’m also making another attempt at my annual Christmas ghost story. It’s a mostly Victorian tradition, but it’s an exercise that I quite enjoy. Basically, I have one day to write a short story from scratch. Two of the previous stories, Harbinger and Sacrifice, are both up on Scribd already, but aren’t formatted for monitors or ereaders, these a classic A4 pages.
This year, I plan to “write live” which essentially means I’ll be blogging as I go. I’ll be starting work at 9am and detailing the various stages it goes through here, on this blog, on Friday 24th December 2010. And obviously, the finished item will be posted to Scribd… If it does get finished!
