"The Widow Wore Gold" Has Been Archived, and other stuff...
Hey!
So the last time I posted, I mentioned that I was alive, and that things were proceeding pretty much apace, but that Day Job was sucking my soul and that most of my creativity was being directed into my Patreon and the Evil Robot Games catalog.
Well, part of what I have been using my remaining creativity on is updating and editing The Widow Wore Gold so that I can get it ready for actual paperback and digital publishing.
No, I still don't have "Trad Pub" representation - not through any fault of my own, mind you, because I've been tryin'! - but I figure since the Evil Robot Games calendar will some day (hopefully soon) have a whole-ass Cyberpunk-Genre TTRPG set in and around the world of The Metro, that I should work on getting some supporting fiction out there. We already have Bloom and Fade, but as TWWG is set in the same city (even if it's kind of a side-story set in the future of The Metro), I figure it needs its own day in the book-based sun.
As such, the original alpha draft, which was presented here on Tumblr in serialized format, has been archived. This is for two purposes: first, so that any changes I make to the text can exist independently of the original draft, without people being confused about them, and secondly, so that no one tries to accuse me of stealing from myself.
You'd think that wouldn't be a thing. It is a thing. It has happened before.
So yeah.
Beta readers have provided their input, a number of changes have been made or will be made, and then it's off to the Editor and then layout and submission to both Amaz0 and Drive Thru Fiction for review and then hopefully there's a book that pops out at the end.
Are you excited? I'm excited.
Let's get that book!
