Sailor''s Rise, I couldn''t sleep more than five or six hours a night, knowing I had to write or edit or post a certain amount every morning before my busy workday began. I''m also a writer who is uncomfortable with imperfection, which means I''m constantly going back to old chapters and making tiny edits you probably never noticed. I think I rewrote the opening paragraph of one particular chapter a dozen times.


    Trial of the Alchemist</a> while designing a print edition for it, which is more work than you think it is, unless you already assumed it would be a lot of work, which it is. (A quick, self-promotional aside: Trial was a Semi-Finalist in this year''s SPFBO, the big indie fantasy novel competition!)


    Trial, reflect, and slowly start writing again. I''ve since written three new chapters of Sailor''s Rise, all over the past month—without compromising my sleep.


    Sailor''s Rise sometime next year, and then I will explore publication options. I don''t yet know what form that will take, but I will certainly let readers here know about it, so stay tuned.
