The Art of Rewriting
5 years ago
To answer the unasked question: I haven't decided whether I'll ever clean up the frame story. When I post the story that it comes from (it's called "A Type of Devil") you'll see that it's fairly polished and my version isn't. I'm more likely to polish the frame story if asked, but even then, I'm not sure I'll take the time for it.
Currently on my plate:
1. A personal project. I wish I could post it here, but anything I post under this name is...limited. Long story short: my contract with RP Games protects my identity. If I do commissions for characters from the books, even things like badges, RP Games has to pay for them (via the company card) and then either it's deducted from my pay or I pay it back. (So my icons by
foxenawolf and
GoldenDruid were paid by them.)That way Chaaya Chandra stays anonymous. That might seem draconian to some, but it was at my request. Originally I was a ghost writer for the books and they were to be written under the publisher's name. You can even find sample covers like that on the internet still. That made him feel bad though and so he talked me into the pen name thing. To be honest, I liked the ghost writer option better.
2. Editing Fugitive's Trust. It releases in July (July 4th if all goes well) and there's still some rather rough parts of it. There's also a couple of parts still missing and/or needing to be removed. This is a back and forth thing that's kind of time consuming. It involves constant communication with the publisher/editors. It's done in real time. We all share the same copy. And no. It's not done on Google.
3. Getting What Once was Eden ready for serialization. Unofficially, that's my top priority. I don't want to run out of things to post on Saturdays and I love writing for Cyan and Magenta.
Stay well people. Since this is one of the few social things I can engage in, I'm open to requests. Before Iraq, I was quite the ham. ;) And this lets me be a little like my old self.
