The March Continues

Hope everyone. Here is this week's update.
- As of Friday, all funds are in hand. With this, I am moving into the next stage.
- Thanks to my proofreaders, I have received a fresh batch of corrections. These are being taken care of, and I am happy with how the text reads.
- I am waiting on final quotes for two things, and once I have those factored into my budget, I will have a better feel of what I will need, just in case.
In the meantime, I have found time to work on the follow-up releases. As I have said, I had to cut a lot due to the manuscript's initial size. Also, a lot is not included in the final manuscript because the book is far too big. Right now, two manuscripts are in first-draft form. They are:
-
Threats (working title until I think of a better one): It is what the name implies—more natural and supernatural threats.
-
Hexenmeister's Almanack, 1776: Additional philosophies of magic from the period, as well as new spells and alchemical arts. Also included are a few new professions.
I am still determining which way to go on these two manuscripts, but I will eventually decide. However, if anyone has opinions, I am open to them.
Two other manuscripts are about 75% done. If I focused, these two could be in a final draft by year's end. However, I'm not touching them until next year.
There are three adventures, two already written and one that needs finishing. This one has been fully plotted out and broken down into sections. The writer needs to take the detailed outline (40 pages) and write it. I am talking to the author this weekend.
I'll hold off on the rest, but the above is where things stand.
That's all for this week.

This is another short update, but I want to keep everyone in the loop.
The funds have arrived, and I am waiting for them to be released. I am working with World of Game Design on production and shipping, which has made things easier for me. I can move on to art ordering as soon as I have them.
Proofreading is ongoing. As I receive comments and corrections, I compile everything into a single document that allows me to make the corrections.
That's it. I am working on other things related to the book, which are minor and not worth mentioning.
As things change, I will keep you posted.
Update: All things moving along nicely

This is a quick update because not much is happening with the project. Everything is moving along nicely, and I am still waiting for the funds to be released. However, here is what has been going on.
-
Art: After I went through the PDF Art Draft, I wrote up all the art descriptions. I have artists lined up and ready to go. The artists are a mix of those I have worked with before and new ones who I have wanted to work with.
-
Proofreading: I have a few new sets of eyes going through the PDF, catching things I and those who went through the manuscript missed. Feel free to email me and let me know if you see anything.
So, that is where things stand now.

Success

I cannot thank you enough for making this a success. What started out as a simple project to revise Colonial Gothic two years ago morphed into a new edition and has far surpassed what I thought I could get funded. So now that this is all over, my work really begins.
Before that, I'm going to take a few days to relax.
