41kish on my Sci Fi WIP.  It's going awesome, moving into the final arc of the story a little early, but given the fact it's a whole Heist plotline I should be fine to getting around 30-40K words out of it.

Also inserted some killer early book forshadowing.

I finally heard back from both of my beta readers. I'm excited to look at their notes and some of their suggestions will help make this book more rich and engaging( I hope!)

But the biggest part of my conversation with one of them was when he told me:

- "The story is amazing, I loved it."
- "Concerning the alien race in the book...thank you, just thank you, they're incredible."
- (Concerning a specific scene in the book) "That was awesome, really amazing."

Suffice to say I've been squeeing my pants from their reactions. Now I'll be spending the next two weeks fine tuning the book, taking their suggestions into account, and finally on June 7th...release!

It's so funny - everytime I see your progress I'm excited because I'm anxious to read the book, then I realize book 2 isn't even out yet!  :o

Haha! You think it's bad for you? I have to keep reminding myself I'm writing events that are over a year away from being seen by the public.

Getting back into the groove after some time away by rereading a project I am officially abandoning and noting which bits to take for other projects; unfortunately, most of those fit in TIWTBW #5, which is at best a couple of years away.

kittensgame, Sandcastle Builder, Homestuck, Welcome to Night Vale, Civ III, lots of print genre SF, and old-school SATT gaming if I had the time.  Also Pandemic Legacy is the best game ever.

More editing today.  I can see the end of editing in sight.  Maybe another week to go.  The book is now up to 298,000 words.  Whew.

One week until I release my book on Amazon! I'm spending the weekend going through the manuscript to fine-tune everything.

If anyone is interested, I posted the first chapter of the book on my website - http://www.thomasrmanning.com/Energize.html

Keep up the awesome progress everyone!
