My regular blogging schedule has been a bit erratic lately. Surely you all know that there was a new Star Wars movie released. That probably has a lot to do with it. I've been distracted by that, and then got hit with a sinus infection, which made things even more challenging for my schedule. But I'm getting back in the swing and the first thing I thought I'd do would be to post an update.
My writing of prose has slowed down considerably. I'm down to only a few hundred words a day, which is lousy of me. I really need to get back in the swing. It's just so hard to get up in the morning when you're sick. Or when I'm sick.
I'll get there, though. I've got some time off for the holiday, but I need to keep pushing myself. I still want to try to get this manuscript done before the end of the year and there's only about 8,000 words left before I get there. It's doable. I just need to work harder.
As for my work that's come out in the last couple of weeks, there has actually been a LOT.
I began writing for Howstuffworks and a ton of material came out for them (all of it Star Wars related.) The first one even made their list of most-read articles on the site.

- Keeping the Secrets of Star Wars
- 5 Best moments from The Force Awakens press conference
- 5 times Carrie Fisher delighted us on the Star Wars press tour
- Making a 'delightful' Star Wars
- Everything we know about the planet Jakku so far
I also had a new piece come up on StarWars.Com: The cinema behind Star Wars: John Carter. It's a movie I love a lot and a story that influenced Star Wars in ways people probably don't realize.
I've got much more coming, too, both in the world of prose and non-fiction, so make sure you keep an eye out.
As a reminder: The Aeronaut and Escape Vector are still out and still need your purchases and reviews. If nothing else, they can use you telling people about them. If you want signed copies, visit the shop here on this page.
Then, The Serpent's Head and Operation: Montauk are both in a Storybundle until the end of the month. The cost is "name your price," and they're packaged with a whole slew of other books worth checking out. Go ahead and snag them here.
Also! here's a list of "rules and guidelines" I've been collecting over my years of studying writing advice and process. There are links to dozens of essays I've written about each individual bullet point and I think some people find it helpful.

As far as my work outside of all this: There's a lot of great stuff on Big Shiny Robot! and Full of Sith for you.
And please, please, please don't forget to check out any of my books, drop reviews of them on Amazon or Goodreads, and follow me on twitter and Facebook!
