An Update, and an Excuse Note

So, after many months of intermittent poking, I have all the feedback for Christophina's Wings  from all the beta readers that I'm going to get. Which means I now have no more excuses. The last bit of feedback I got wasn't exactly glowing, but it made some flaws clear that I need to deal with. So I'm burrowing through the book and finding all kinds of things that need tweaking. I'm going to run the first and second chapters back through my writing group, so I can put them up on the internet to people to see, and in the meantime go over everything else in detail. This means it's time for me to resume the habit of Excuse Notes. Until I have the novel fully revised and out in the world, I have resolved to do at least something towards that goal each day.

Excuse Note 10/3/2025 to 10/7/2025

Chapter One is Live!

 Just a quick announcement to the three people who read this that you can read the first chapter of Christophina's Wings  at https://sarashay.com/2025/02/23/christophinas-wings/. Actual release date is still tentatively December 15 — I have to compile and refine the manuscript into ebook format and get ARCs out before releasing it to the world. The gap between now and release day is to account for anything screwing up and taking too long. I also have a newsletter set up! The form to sign up is also at that page. It'll pop up to prompt you about two minutes into reading. If you're not interested, just click elsewhere and it should go away. More updates forthcoming, though a lot more of my thinky-thoughts about writing are going to be on the newsletter first, and might not make it here. Thanks for reading, three people!
