Weekly writing progress:
Dear reader,
I have failed.
I did say I'd be done with my final read through of book 2 at the beginning of this week, but I massively overestimated my ability to read it for the *counts on fingers* tenth time without stopping for breaks. Especially since I was still making little adjustments the whole way. But take heart! I finished it yesterday, and tomorrow I will be doing a final spell check/grammar check (through Word). My hope is to have it done and dusted tomorrow, but that's pretending I'm not distracted by something... Hopefully when I report in next week I'll be onto book 3's read through (the rough is done already).
The final version of book 2's cover is completed, and I'm very pleased with it. I'm excited to show it off on all the social medias, but I will be waiting a bit before doing that. Please look forward to the release of the second short story via my mailing list. If it's not out by May 1st, I'll send out a special email to include it. So make sure you sign up for my mailing list at mjlindemann.com if you haven't!
No other news on the writing front!
What I've been up to:
TV
We are caught up on Shogun and I think there's only one episode left. This last one was a tear jerker, but it had absolutely outstanding performances from the cast. Anna Sawai's acting was breathtaking, the way she walked, the way she managed to get so much emotion underneath all of her "respectful" statements. And the camera work and set design this episode... I have no idea how they'll top this for the finale, but I'm looking forward to it.
I caught up/finished Solo Leveling. It's a series that delivers on all its promises and has great action sequences. Can't complain.
We started Fallout and hot damn that show is so good. It manages to capture everything the games do right (dark humor, political commentary, exciting world building) and I'm just pleased as punch about it.
Books
The Fires of Heaven is still the book I'm reading. It's still good. There will likely not be updates on the book reading front for a few weeks beyond this because these Wheel of Time books take me so long to get through.
Games
Final Fantasy 7: Rebirth - still enjoying it thoroughly. I'm taking my time with the game, which is something I rarely do. Among my circle I'm usually known as the person that devours games in a week and starts hunting for my next meal, but something about this one is making me take my time. I'm also spending a lot of my time on Overwatch 2, but I'll spare you details on that because that ain't fun for no one to hear about.
