SubscribeStar, Accordion Worms, and Second Drafts
Good morning (at least I hope so) and welcome to another slice of madness.
First, some exciting news. To help meet the financial needs of my various ventures, I’ve opened an account on SubscribeStar. For only $5 a month, you can help me keep new content flowing, and gain access to exclusive artwork and stories found nowhere else on the internet! Head over to my page and subscribe today!
Someone asked me for more news from my gardening endeavors, so here it is. I found out yesterday that one of my sunflowers had accordion worms. Accordion worms (they’re technically called stem borers, but that’s less fun) are the larval form of the yellow longhorn beetle. They’ll eat the middle of the stem and weaken the plant before you even know what’s wrong. The poor thing was bent over on the ground. So far it’s the only one, which is a blessing. Normally those little bugs will take out a whole patch.
The lettuce and carrots are looking rather lush, especially considering the rough year they had. I’ve been watching them like a hawk. Oddly, I haven’t seen the rabbits in weeks; perhaps my neighbor did us a favor and had them disposed of. That would be nice. Everyone says “oh bunnies! They’re so cute!” Meanwhile, I’m growling “demon tribbles” under my breath.
This past weekend, after a marathon of writing, I completed the second draft of THE TOWER OF EMRYS. It was an uphill battle, as usual, but I did it. Now I just need to hear back from the beta readers before moving on to another round of editing, then another round of betas, and then more editing, and the final draft will emerge from the flames of my burning story.
After some conversations with a friend, I am taking THE SWORD OF EMRYS off the shelf once again. All the plot points will remain the same; however, I am changing significant portions of the dialogue and narration to make it flow better. So keep your eyes peeled for a second edition!
In the meantime, please enjoy this latest installment of LEGEND OF THE SWORD BEARER. I’ll be uploading new episodes to Webtoon every Wednesday morning for you good people.
Well, that’s all for today. Have a great week, and please consider supporting me on SuscribeStar, and share my content with your friends.
