I have to admit I haven’t gotten as much done as I wished. But between health (a cold that will just NOT go away plus a bout with Norovirus) and just the blahness of winter, I haven’t been as motivated as expected. But I have made some progress.
I managed to get past a tricky section of Generation Zee: rethinking and deciding not to kill off a character, instead having a miraculous recovery, which will be important later in the story. Plus adding another group of characters (or more precisely, bringing them back from earlier in the story) to play an important role towards the end. And I had the cover redesigned.
A contractor that had contacted me through Facebook, one of many, offered to do a cover for me at a reasonable price, with the hope of future work from me. I liked the way she presented herself, professional and using proper English in her communications with me (an absolute pre-requisite for me). In order for her to design a new cover, she had to see the old one and I had to write up a synopsis for her so she could pull relevant things from it to add to the cover. That was a first for me.
So after many emails back and forth she created a cover that I am very pleased with. But I will not be sharing that new cover here. I am only going to share it on my newsletter. So if you want to see it ahead of publication, get a free short story and hear about my writing process and other updates, sign up for it here:

So I have gotten some writing done between the synopsis, work on the novel and new articles for my newsletter. I just haven’t moved forward with the novel as much as I would have liked. I will need to really buckle down and get it done in February!
