The Journal: Of Interest

In today’s Journal

* Today
* Off for a Few Days
* Of Interest
* The Numbers

Some good stuff in “Of Interest” today.

This morning I received the final bit of feedback from my first readers on Book 2 of the Othgygnrk Invasion series, which will release on July 1.

I’ll make those changes today, then finish the copyedit I’m working on.

Listen, I’ll probably be off here for a few days. I have a feeling nobody’s reading this recently anyway, and I don’t blame you. I need to regroup a little, focus on some things I’m putting together (myself and some other things), so I’ll be back before too long. When the Journal hits your inbox again, it should be well worth reading.

Talk with you again soon.

  1. Part of the value of the Journal to me is seeing that professional (long time and successful) writers don’t always have everything put together, figured out and working right. It’s a reminder to just keep coming back. So don’t stay away too long. And, enjoy your break!

  2. Same as the rest, Harvey. I read this every day, rain or shine. But I’d rather you take the time you need to get things straightened out for yourself. Thanks for all you do.

  3. Of course, take whatever time you need, Harvey, but I sure miss you when you’re gone. My favorite posts are when you write anything related to Writing Into The Dark. I pounce on that stuff! 🥰 Take care.
