  <description>Everything is back to semi-normal here (though there is some IRL&amp;nbsp;fuckery going on that I&apos;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&apos;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&apos;m giving the novel a bit of breathing room to give them a bit of stage time. I&apos;m taking my time with this one, so if I don&apos;t quite get it out on schedule, I&apos;m not going to worry. I really don&apos;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&apos;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&apos;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&apos;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&apos;s my favorite in the trilogy, I&apos;d like to make sure it&apos;s also just as tight and up to current standards! More on that soon enough...&lt;br type=&quot;_moz&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=jon_chaisson&amp;ditemid=1076722&quot; width=&quot;30&quot; height=&quot;12&quot; alt=&quot;comment count unavailable&quot; style=&quot;vertical-align: middle;&quot;/&gt; comments</description>
