    <content type="html">Everything is back to semi-normal here (though there is some IRL&amp;nbsp;fuckery going on that I'd rather not get into here on the blog just yet). The day job is the day job, the writing is the writing. Everything seems to be in a state of movement, which is always better than a state of stall, yeah? I'm back to almost forty hours at the day job again, and &lt;em&gt;Theadia&lt;/em&gt; is coming along quite nicely.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Speaking of which, this current go-round is including my inserting a few [INSERT NEW SCENE/CHAPTER HERE] placeholders. There are a few secondary characters I never got around to expanding on who I think could be useful for the grander plot, so I'm giving the novel a bit of breathing room to give them a bit of stage time. I'm taking my time with this one, so if I don't quite get it out on schedule, I'm not going to worry. I really don't want to do this one half-assed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;OH! And speaking of writing, I finally got the rough POD ARC for &lt;em&gt;A Division of Souls&lt;/em&gt;&amp;nbsp;(the remaster), and it looks REALLY good! I'm quite glad Draft2Digital is providing this -- and via a much easier process than Amazon/Createspace, I should add -- so once I give it a final go-over (and fix any last-minute issues), I'll have it up and available to buy in print! Woo!&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And following up on that, I've also prepped a new copy of &lt;em&gt;The Persistence of Memories&lt;/em&gt; for remastering, which I definitely want to have out by 2026. I think this one will need a bit less polishing than &lt;em&gt;ADoS&lt;/em&gt; did, but considering it's my favorite in the trilogy, I'd like to make sure it's also just as tight and up to current standards! More on that soon enough...&lt;br type="_moz" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=jon_chaisson&amp;ditemid=1076722" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/&gt; comments</content>
