The New Novel Project is being put into hiatus for the moment; outside of RoW80 and NaNo, all my attentions now are going to be into trying to prep something for some e-publishing experimentation.

This post is going up a lot later than usual, I know, but at least it’s actually going up, unlike the last two RoW80 check ins. It’s not so much that I’ve been forgetting or that I’ve had nothing to report; quite the opposite, actually. I’ve just been very busy with a social life and…
