Ep. 221: More Fear

Bookbinding

Not much to report on the bookbinding front today as I’ve been busy on Fiction Mountain. I have, however, torn apart one pop-up book, designed another one, and have pieces of a pop-up book scattered all over my worktable. 

I added mull and the spine piece to both Giapan (yes, my Don Quixote inspired historical novel) and Fear Zero (book O of The Fear Trilogy.) 

Fiction

In fiction, however, I have been abundantly busy. First, writing on Book One of The Fear Trilogy called Fear Itself. I’ve added numerous pages, tightened it up, made it faster, and more aggressive. I’m nearing the climactic finishing chapters. I want to finish it this month and write Book Two, Fear the Dead, during NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month).

In NaNoWriMo one must write a 50,000 word novel in one month (November). I have done this on a few occasions. My novels in the Calvado Pentalogy were either started or finished during this marathon of writing. I believe three of the five books in Calvado were finished during NaNoWriMo.

I have also started recording Fear Zero as an audio book. The first chapter can be heard on this episode of Tedorigawa Bookmakers. Recording and editing the audio file takes some time but as I record I find things I want to change. This is like a final Final edit.
