Airborne refuses to end
Hello everyone,
I haven’t been blogging in a while but if anyone has been following my twitter updates(@Csibline), you may know why. I’m editing. Still editing. Windswept is determined to be the most difficult of all three books. Not only does it combine world building, it involves ‘ending’ too. And with all the details needing to be consistent, it’s a tough thing. But I’m very determined to do well and have been diligently taking others advice on it.
So I’m sure you don’t want to hear me rant about the editing process. I may highlight a few details I’ve found while doing it though.
First off, I’ve found the Airborne Saga really doesn’t want to end. Or at least the world that was built into the book. The characters and plot has so much more potency than I originally realized or expected. Now I’m not promising spin offs or even to extend Avery’s tale. But I have considered that Windswept may not be the total end of story…
Anyways, Windswept is still coming out in 2012! I originally predicted around fall (September, October). But then I also always find I can’t predict much of anything when a ton of the work (like proofreading) is given to people who aren’t me and people whose schedules I don’t control. It’s too close to the ending to say anything more drastic than 2012. One thing I won’t be doing with this book is have an extended countdown to release. When I know the date, I’ll give notice. But it may only be a month or even a week. I’ll try not to say ‘surprise! It’s on the shelves!’ although I suppose that’d be a nice surprise.
As always, writing is unfortunately not my full time job, just a part time one... on top of another part time one… on top of a full time one. So I’m hoping to get better at doing the classic book countdowns, reveals, and deadlines.
I have some more news! I’ve kept it under the rug for a while but I have been working on another project the last few months. This one is new and I haven’t even mentioned it before but the book has basically been writing itself. For those horror lovers out there, it’s a bit darker and creepier. But we have our lovely hero who gets to survive it all.
I’d give more details—and I plan to once I get the cover made and the synopsis written. Until then I’ll leave you with the warning of the nasty evil fairies that live below the ground and haven’t awoken for generation…until now.
I’ll get back to work now. In the meantime, feel free to check out my lovely friends at Dark-Horse-Indie who have been publishing awesome book after awesome book the last few months.
