In the case of The Pale Rose it has been about three months, which is a fair bit of time. I&#8217;d like to say I decided to keep a summer vacation from posting, but that&#8217;s not really what happened. I simply got distracted.<\/p>\n<p>I got an idea for a novel that I just couldn&#8217;t leave alone. I had to write it. So that&#8217;s what I did. Initially I wrote it at the same time as I continued on The Pale Rose, but towards the end I worked solely on that piece. I even started writing it with the thought I might try and get it published, but that&#8217;s an idea I&#8217;ve since given up on. Getting published just seems to involve a lot of work that I&#8217;m not willing to do. I&#8217;d rather spend my time writing stories instead of letters to agents and what have you.<\/p>\n<p>In any case, the first novel of that idea is now done. At least the first draft is. At 78k words, it&#8217;s a decent start to what will be a trilogy and I&#8217;m going to say I think it&#8217;s some of the best writing I&#8217;ve done so far. It&#8217;s completely separate from the world of Balaria, something entirely new. I&#8217;m excited to share it with all of you once I get the thing edited to an acceptable level and maybe had someone beta read it. For now, I&#8217;ll just leave you with this teaser:<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_532\" style=\"width: 222px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/lilwolf.biz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/alternate_cover_scaled.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-532\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-532\" alt=\"Alternate cover\" src=\"http:\/\/lilwolf.biz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/alternate_cover_scaled-212x300.jpg\" width=\"212\" height=\"300\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-532\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Alternate cover<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Now, about The Pale Rose. I&#8217;m just about done completing it and there are plenty of chapters to post. I just posted <a title=\"The Pale Rose PDF\" href=\"http:\/\/www.lilwolf.biz\/pdf\/the_pale_rose_pt2.pdf\">chapter 10<\/a> on here and that leaves me with 18 ready chapters to go. The plan is to go back to the chapter every Sunday schedule and I hope to keep that up. Now that I have the first bit of that obsession story out of me I&#8217;ll hopefully have time to do some short stories as well. Plenty of ideas floating around my head for those.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m sorry about the long silence, but at the same time I&#8217;m excited to get to posting again. I hope I haven&#8217;t lost all my readers to this break \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p>So let&#8217;s just put some links at the end to remind you:<\/p>\n<h2><a title=\"The Pale Rose PDF\" href=\"http:\/\/www.lilwolf.biz\/pdf\/the_pale_rose_pt1.pdf\">The Pale Rose &#8211; Part One<\/a><\/h2>\n<h2><a title=\"The Pale Rose PDF\" href=\"http:\/\/www.lilwolf.biz\/pdf\/the_pale_rose_pt2.pdf\">The Pale Rose &#8211; Part Two<\/a><\/h2>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So it has been a long time since I posted anything new.
