I've been trying to split different work activities across different days and so far it worked great. I have writing days, working days, engineering days. Knowing that I'm focusing only on a single thing for the whole day is powerful.

951 words done today on the second draft. Trying to write more consistently this summer. That book will not write itself, I tried.

It pains me to see authors pricing their books at zero. I wrote about the psychology of pricing, how we perceive value, and why free books aren't as appealing as they sound.

Patiently waiting for the proof copies to arrive.
A good time to take a break from the book and reset. I've got a ton of editing ahead of me this year, among other things.

100+ pages into the second draft of my sci-fi novel, I began procrastinating a bit by drafting the second book in a different series.
It spans 50 pages now. I'm following (mostly) the only storyline I know so far but it already has a ton of epic and gore and words worth sharing.

The foundation of first book's layout is done. I like the sizes and I like the spacing. Once the illustrations are complete, it will all gracefully move along to the next publishing step.

Outlining religions has to be one of my favorite aspects of world-building. Religion is a reflection of culture, beliefs, and answers to the unknown. I have gods who walk between the trees, those who dwell in mirrors and under the sea, and some who choose to stay away from the affairs of mortals.
