i know it's been 84 years but i am, indeed, still on deadline
i'm currently on a schedule that's roughly a book every 6-8 months, which is good in a lot of ways! what that means: locke was sept '25, shadows was jan '26, traitor bride is sept '26, the dying season is ?jul? '27, then locke 3 is ?feb? '28, and adult horror 2 will probably be summer/fall '28. like, in practice, that is very good that books are happening and i am busy, but it also means i have been on deadline since november of last year (after, like, 3 months off deadline) and i have 2 more books to write in the next 7 months after I hand in this draft.
basically: i am sleepy, lol. not complaining, because this is genuinely what i've always wanted to do and i'm happy to have books coming out. just sleepy.
necromantasy snippet to justify the whining:
“I didn’t know Odysseus was a necromancer,” Iris said. “That part of the Odyssey must’ve passed me by.”
“Not exactly,” Hart agreed. “But he spoke to shades, and he saw his own death.”
“He also fought a bunch of people naked when they came onto his wife,” Iris said.
Hart sighed. “Nothing escapes you, Hall.” He led the way down a narrower side path that diverged from the main route, going towards a thicket of trees. “Unfortunately, as interesting as it sounds, naked fight club did not make it into the core practices of necromancy.”
