Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas, everyone.

Work continues at a decent pace, and I think there'll just be two more redrafts. The first will be a proper one, and will hopefully ensure the flow of the story works well, and the second will be polishing off rough spots and checking for typos and the like.

However, before then the map requires some fiddling and there's still a fair bit to write. On the map front, my artist friend, lovely Lee Yoong, had a small but extremely cunning suggestion which will, I think, make the map significantly better. Some new lettering and a new settlement [not story-related] needs to be added first, though.

Still hard to say when it'll be released, and I'm hopeful that Q1 or Q2 of 2013 will see Journey to Altmortis published. When it is, I intend to put up a time-limited code here that will reduce the price at Smashwords from $2.99 to $0.99. I'll also publicise that via twitter and perhaps one or two other places.

Oh, and I've been doing some work (if it can be called work) on general lore/mythology/races, so I might expand the Lore sections here next year.

Anyway, I hope you all had a good 2012, and enjoy an even better 2013.

Writing new stuff and a dilemma

12/10/2012

For some reason I thought it'd been ages since I last updated this blog, but it's only been 6 days. Anyway, I've written the first draft of the new start, and whilst some changes need to be made I rather like the basic premise and it fits in nicely with the later story.

I also need to sort out the beginning of a secondary plot. Certain parts of that are amongst my favourites but some bits are a bit dry and mechanical. For reasons that will become apparent when it's finished, adding a minor transvestite scene could help make it more coherent.

However, my biggest issue is a cunning addition I thought of which could dramatically change the end. This character's introduction would mesh perfectly with what I've already written, but figuring out what to do with him is tricky. I think it'll be quite a fun challenge to resolve, and there's the potential for increasing the body count.

Fiddling with a chapter right now, but after that I'll start writing new stuff, and when that's all done I'll handle the finickity to-do list.

An interview and some updates

I've just done my first interview (as the chap answering the questions) with the delightful Mia Darien, which can be found here: http://www.miadarien.com/ten-questions-with-thaddeus-white/

I know from experience it can be quite hard thinking of good questions to ask, but I rather enjoyed answering them.

On the writing front, I've got a little bit of the final chapter to redraft, and then it's on to writing new bits and considering some (mostly small but) significant changes. And, of course, rejigging what's there so that it flows better. I'll probably increase the number of chapters as well, as they're probably a bit on the long side.

    About Me
    I've always loved reading
    and writing, particularly fantasy and classical history. I'm also quite into F1 and politics and have no idea why this section is double-spaced.
