Out of Gas

I'm sorry for the lack of updates in the last month. Unfortunately I've had some health problems come up and it has siphoned the last of the gas from my tank.  I've tried to sit and write, but for the last few weeks nothing is coming.

I've taken time to do some reading, some plotting, and realized that I may have to rewrite a 100k word novel first draft from scratch. The thought of doing this brings dread to my heart and makes me want to cry just a little bit.  It isn't what I want to do, but life is all about doing  things which you don't want to do.  The best example of this is dishes, no one likes to wash dishes but every loves to use them.

Understand the next chapter on the serial is coming. Check out Goodreads if you want some reviews or book recommendations for what I've read lately.  A friend of mine is also offering his debut novel free for this week on Kindle so check it out.  I'll post a link below.  While I may not have anything new for you I'll still try to make sure you have plenty of things to read if I'm not providing it.

I hate to do this but I have to.

Hello Readers,

I'm sorry to need to do this but this week had been beyond hectic. I've managed less than 2000 words written this entire week which really isn't where the count needs to be.  The story is coming, but I don't post partial chapters.  I'll post rough drafts when needed, but an unfinished chapter doesn't really work.

It will be up in the next two days, I promise that.

Sincerely,
Travis.

The Idles of March

I don't know what it is, perhaps waiting for spring to begin, perhaps the tail end of a winter that just doesn't want to give up.  Whatever it is that hits me in March, killing my time and productivity, I wish it would spread itself out through the other eleven months of the year.  

The update is coming but this last week has been horrid.  I've been fighting to get all the every day stuff done, but getting my head in the writing game has been a struggle.  I plan to have you an update this week, but for now I need to keep going.

Some things to know:

I will be at Salt Lake City FanX at the Utah Horror Writers booth on and off on Friday and Saturday.  If you're going to be there please come visit and I'd love to hear your thoughts on the story so far.

A Wolf in Patchwork Clothing will be free for FanX (March 24-26) on E-book.  Grab it and lets get some ratings on Amazon to help spread the word.

Due to FanX and Easter I'll see about getting next weeks update out on time, but it'll be a rough one.  Realistically I don't see it happening but I'm at least going to try to get it done.  I'm hoping to be back on schedule on the first week of April.

Technical Issues

I'm having some technical issues with today's chapter and I might have to rewrite it.  There will be a delay, and I may have to buy some better software.

tl;dr Life Sucks, Chapter 5 soon.

1 day Delay

I'm sorry to be posting this, but this Chapter has taken on a life or its own. It's good, but given the choice between breaking the chapter in two or delivering it the way that I had planned it. I'd really rather give you the full Chapter.

Sorry again, but I'm doing my best to keep these delays to a minimum.

Chapter update and a note of delay.

The new chapter is up and I would love to hear some feedback from those of you who are reading it. Are you enjoying the story? Please comment and let me know. Did I mess up on a small obscure fact that leaves the story unbelievable? Send me an e-mail or comment that as well.  I'd love to hear about it.

Also, there has been a minor delay on the release of A Wolf in Patchwork Clothing.  The file that I'd made all my edits on has corrupted. It has added pages where they shouldn't be, mid-chapter, and despite everything I've tried I can't fix it.  It means a set back of two or three days while I get recreate the file and make the necessary fixes. It is coming though, please be patient.

Free stuff

Sorry for the delay, I just got back from a vacation and life is being difficult. Nanowrimo planning is taking more time in planning that I thought it would and so my evenings have been surprisingly busy. I guess that is the cost of being an ML.

Sadly that means the story is delayed but to make up for it I'm handing out some free e-books from Thursday 10/15 - Saturday 10/17.  So if you want to read more about Patch get the book and read the story at the end of the collection, The Last Day of School.  The link is below.

Please enjoy the stories.

Delay of Game!

Hello to you select few people who read my blog regularly.  First off let me say I appreciate your support and I hope you're inviting others to enjoy the story.  That being said this week has decided to come at me with a chainsaw and I'm currently hiding in a cupboard barely breathing and hoping to go unnoticed.  So, once this week leaves the room I'll get this story finished, (sometime this weekend).  I'll post to Facebook and Twitter when it's available.

That being said, find my page on Facebook and like it, as I try to fill it with awesome stuff!  Follow me on Twitter at @TravColeman and be prepared for updates.  This story is going to get serious and there will be updates every week for October until the end of "A Wolf in Patchwork Clothing."  I hope you are ready for it.
