I just wrote a nice progress update, which got mysteriously deleted when I got rid of a different, empty, text box. Bugger.
Anyway, to recap (or cap, given none of you saw the first version):
The major additions to Traitor's Prize of this redraft are done. Got a lot of little tinkering points to do, but things are on schedule.
Sir Edric and the Plague is about a quarter of the way done (unusually, I will have at least one significant change to make in redrafting). However, given it'll be released after Kingdom Asunder, Sir Edric's Kingdom and perhaps Traitor's Prize, that's fine.
It's tricky writing two novels at once (well, redrafting one and writing another) whilst also delving into short stories. However, I've got a couple in consideration for anthologies and they will, hopefully, keep things ticking over whilst I get the trilogy ready for release.
When not writing, or trying to play Dragon Age: Inquisition in German (with occasionally hilarious incompetence), I've been fiddling a bit with some drawing.

The picture above, which can also be found under the Artwork tab, is an Egyptian style depiction of Dog fighting a certain creature in The Adventures of Sir Edric. It took a shockingly long time to draw, because I have the artistic aptitude of a baked potato. That said, it was quite enjoyable (and the Egyptian style means I can draw Dog without giving away any details of his appearance). I'm toying with the idea of doing more of these for future Sir Edric releases, (although humans are much harder to draw than animals). Regular readers of my Twitter account (@MorrisF1) will be aware I've also been messing about with some cartoonery (only a little) which is an alternative art style I could try and use. Self-promotion's difficult, especially when it feels awkward, so that may be a better approach than tweeting 'buy my book' and so on. If you have a preference between the two styles, do let me know either here or on Twitter.
Even if I decide not to try and use either approach for marketing, it's always good to have something to do that doesn't involve staring at a screen.
