@gnofhorror.com gave my novel WHAT WE LEFT BEHIND such a tremendous review. The accompanying inteview I did to help promote the book is also pretty revealing about my process, my influences, and how autism has shaped my understanding of my work.

I'm closing in on the final chapters of the last SCARLET JANE book. I do think it's going to end up undergoing a title change due to the direction it's gone in, so it's more likely to be GOLEM GROUNDS now than DARK WATER, but you get me.

So close!

Will finish soon, I think!

I think – keyword: think – that I found the core of the story from my thesis novel from my MFA project.

We won’t start doing major writing work on our thesis until later on in the year, but I’m happy and I’m excited to have uncovered this detail.

The first BANISHED LEGEND book, with new chapter separations and revisions, is now being uploaded across the eBook networks.

The other four books are also being republished, but will not have these chapter structures (as of now). They will be updated in the next few weeks.

I should be done with the tweaks to the first BANISHED LEGEND book over the weekend.

The other books will go up alongside them, but the planned updates to their part/chapter structures will follow in pieces, as I do each book individually.

Tried a new game (Conan: Exiles) and was pleased. It might be better with others, but I've been adventuring for a few hours and have been enjoying my time!

We got the visit completed. If anyone could help with the expenses, I’d appreciate it.

I’ve received about 100 so far from generous friends.

Roughly 100,000 more words to go in implementing chapters within the first BANISHED LEGEND book. Good progress, I say!

(The book is 206,000 words, FYI).

For anyone wondering: I am thinking this is the result of his F-HSV (feline herpes virus). He's had this before, and it normally just passes, but the congestion has lingered a bit too long for me to be completely comfortable with it.

26.10.2025 02:23 β€” πŸ‘ 0    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 1    πŸ“Œ 0

Thankfully the local vet is a little more economical, but I know it won't be cheap to get him treated (he'll likely need a Convenya shot, which I think is almost 100 alone).

If you think you need help from me, please let me know. I feel so bad that he's not feeling better. :(

If you have anything that needs to be formatted, that would be the easiest for me to do right now. I could also slot you in for proofreading/editing, if need be.

Hi, #Minterland:

Jonesy's congestion issues aren't getting any better, and have lasted for about a week now, so I'm "crowdfunding" to get some work in to take him to the vet sometime within the next few days.

If you're a writer type, look below for more info about what I'm doing:

I forgot to add that I did find those words. I'm busy reincorporating them with my new chapter system now, so the books are not on the markets for the time being.

What gave you a heart attack tonight, Kody?

Well, I did discover that 21,000 words were missing out of the formatted BOND OF BLOOD book during my readthrough just now… and I have no long they've been out of the published files.

*facepalm*

A table of contents for my BOND OF BLOOD book, showing how I'm integrating chapters within "parts" to make it more digestible for readers.

A table of contents for my BOND OF BLOOD book, showing how I'm integrating chapters within "parts" to make it more digestible for readers.

I made it to page 175 of the first 702-page BANISHED LEGEND book. The addition of chapters within parts will make this far easier to read, I feel.

I should've done it ages ago.

Since I am working to wrap up my SCARLET JANE series this month and next, I am thinking this will be a December + January project. I am a bit intimidated, however, due to the overall length.

BUT, there's something else going to happen with the BANISHED LEGEND universe πŸ˜‰

I figure this would be a good time to announce that I want to make my BANISHED LEGEND series somewhat more digestible (in that I'm dividing full individual "parts" to have "chapters" within them).

The problem? The series is almost 1-million words long.

This will take some time.

Hey, book community! Maybe you can help!

Does anyone know what the name of a sci-fi book is that features first contact with a Stone Age/Neanderthal civilization?

It has a white-ish cover, with an orb-like craft in the sky, mammoths on the ground, and a woman on a cliff.

I should note that he's also still acting like his normal Jonesy self.

*over him -almost= losing his eye, rather. He still has both, thankfully.

22.10.2025 06:01 β€” πŸ‘ 0    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 1    πŸ“Œ 0

He's still eating/drinking/going potty as usual. Last time he had this, they gave him a cautionary Convenya shot.

Thoughts?

I'm trying not to let my PTSD over him losing his eye from herpes + him being so sick make me paranoid, but I hate to make him go through it if it's something else. :(
