Word Count Wednesday: Crown and Prequel

Hello everyone!

     It is time once again for Word Count Wednesday! This will be my last one for a while, since I plan to be offline for the next couple of weeks! So what have we got, hmmm?
     Well, my latest offering for Tales From Midhgardhur on Channillo posted today, entitled "Ingjaldur's Crown" - it weighs in at about 5890 words!

     Also, after much tinkering, I have the outline complete for a prequel to The Saga of Asa Oathkeeper, to be titled "The Tale of Halfdanur the Black" - the revised outline weighs in around 5180 words! I am signing up for Camp NaNoWriMo this July, and I intend to make "The Tale of Halfdanur the Black" my special project for "summer camp"!

Happy Reading! Skál!

"Ingjaldur's Crown" to be released on schedule!

Good news, everyone!

     I finished writing "Ingjaldur's Crown" (I felt like I was never going to finish it at times!), and it will be posting to Tales From Midhgardhur on Channillo on schedule (6/1/16)! "Ingjaldur's Crown" is set soon after the events of The Saga of Asa Oathkeeper: A Midhgardhur Fantasy, and returns to Asa, Hrefna, and Hrafn for the first time, really ("Hrafn's Ninth Night" was a sort of prequel for Hrafn, but this is the first time I have returned to all the main protagonists!). So this was fun and exciting for me!

      Of course, I am still working on the thus-far untitled prequel to The Saga of Asa Oathkeeper, which is going to be a much longer project than any of my short Tales From Midhgardhur. Not sure what the July project will be yet, but it might involve Asa and her companions as well! All of this is working me up to the point where I might actually write that sequel that so many people have asked me to write!

Happy Reading! Skál!

Word Count Wednesday and SO MANY PROJECTS!

Hello everyone,

     Right now, I have so many projects going on, I almost don't know where to begin! It is pretty exciting!

     First of all, I am tinkering with a (so far unnamed) prequel to The Saga of Asa Oathkeeper. It won't be a novel, maybe more of a short story than a novella, even, but it will set up some of the background to the events of that novel. It is currently only 881 words, but it's growing!

     Second, I am still editing Ormsbani. I finished a second draft, which is printed out for review, and I think it is looking great!

     Third, I am in research for my next NaNoWriMo novel, "Tyrfingur" . . . I don't start writing until November, but I'm really happy with the research!

    Fourth, I am trying to work in two different short stories for Tales From Midhgardhur, one for May ("Old Blood, Bright Fire") which is currently at 1534 words, and one for June ("Ingjaldur's Crown") when I shall be away on a camping trip. I have scheduled releases for these - "Old Blood, Bright Fire" should be available on 5/21/16, and "Ingjaldur's Crown" should be out on 6/1/16.

     That's it for updates right now!

Word Count Wednesday and the Neverending Revision

Hello everyone,

     Well, I've been editing Ormsbani - truly, it feels like the revision that never ends - so I have the latest Word Count Wednesday weigh-in for that novel: 69,145 as of this writing! I have a lot more to do, but I feel like I am making good progress!

     Meanwhile, I'm pretty far behind on "The Harp of the Sisters," my latest project for Tales From Midhgardhur on Channillo. I had wanted to get it out by the Ides of March, but due to a number of family crises, it's still not done! Please be patient - it will be up as soon as I can finish it!

Happy Reading! Skál!
