Yea me! 11,131 on Crystal Tech. I’ve got a goal of at least 80,000 for the novel, so that puts me at nearly 14% done. Wow. Still along way to go, but I’m feeling charged.

I guess I’m showing up in Google and other places more prominently now as I’m cleaning out spam comments on a daily basis. Not to worry folks, Akismet catches all of them before they make it out to the public. Which of course leads me to wonder, why they even bother. I guess some people just don’t run Akismet on their WordPress blogs and suffer the consequences.So I guess that’s good, that my site’s ranking is up and all the good (and evil) that brings.
In unrelated news, got another 1300+ words down on Crystal Tech and hopfully more today.
Still writing away, but I’m also on the look out for media to use with the novel’s podcast. I think I’ve settled on a theme. Got it from Archive.org so it’s public domain (yea, free stuff!). It’s original title is “Celtic Tale A.” Not very catchy, but I like the tune and I think it captures the old world meets advanced technology theme of the book perfectly.
Also, I get to try out the built-in audio player for the web site. If it doesn’t work, let me know!

It’s not a final, finished product, but it’s what I have for Chapter One of Crystal Tech. Comments and critiques are welcome. I think it may need some more “meat” on it, but it has the events I want to cover in the first chapter.
When it’s closer to final, I’ll do a recording of it to try out voices and work out kinks. Read the rest of this entry »
The book isn’t finished, but by God we have cover art! Some set of priorities, huh? Here it is for all the world to see.
