  <title>Getting there</title>

  <description>Woohoo! I&apos;m finally DONE with the remastering work for &lt;em&gt;A Division of Souls&lt;/em&gt; (that is until I do one last reread, heh), so now I can shift all my creative focus back on &lt;em&gt;Theadia&lt;/em&gt;! I&apos;m looking forward to starting in on it again, especially now that I have a clearer head and a few really good ideas on how to rework it into the style I want. I&apos;ve given myself until late 2026 to finish it, so I&apos;ve got a year and change to make it happen. I&apos;m pretty sure I can do it, considering these days the first drafts of my novels take maybe a few months at most. [It&apos;s still kind of weird to say that. Each book in the original trilogy took about a year, while &lt;em&gt;In My Blue World&lt;/em&gt; took three months.]&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Whether or not this one will expand into a duology or just be a very long single volume, we shall see...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=jon_chaisson&amp;ditemid=1072929&quot; width=&quot;30&quot; height=&quot;12&quot; alt=&quot;comment count unavailable&quot; style=&quot;vertical-align: middle;&quot;/&gt; comments</description>

  <description>I&apos;m kind of annoyed with myself because I&apos;ve missed a few deadlines. One was an online talk I wanted to attend and missed (apparently Yahoo Mail no longer emails me calendar reminders even though I set them up...?), and another was that I&apos;m still far too behind on getting Diwa &amp;amp; Kaffi done and out there. And I&apos;m doubly annoyed because I have multiple calendars in front of me and I didn&apos;t think to write them down on any of them. I&apos;m either distracted by something stupid or it just slips my mind. And I get mad at myself. Fine. I think I need to start up the whiteboard calendar again, don&apos;t I? Eesh.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;ANYWAY. Starting the new week on a negative note, but it is what it is. Here&apos;s to hoping that everything else goes in a much more positive direction, yeah?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=jon_chaisson&amp;ditemid=990456&quot; width=&quot;30&quot; height=&quot;12&quot; alt=&quot;comment count unavailable&quot; style=&quot;vertical-align: middle;&quot;/&gt; comments</description>
