Out of that shadowy corner

This dark corner of the bar is getting really dusty, so it’s time to step out.  After several late nights and early mornings, getting only 4 hours of sleep a night for most of the past week, I finished the manuscript last night at 1am.  It needs to be tweaked just a little, and I need to work through some technical stuff (index, bibliography), but for the most part, the content is completed and accurately cited.  There are passages I still want to revise, but getting to this point feels great.  I’ll be able to get more involved here at the Hog’s Head again, and pubcasts will resume very soon.

I’ll be submitting the manuscript to Zossima later today.  The process of editing and revision will start in a couple months, and I’ll keep you posted as things develop regarding a release date later this year.  Thank you all for continuing to make The Hog’s Head some of the best discussion to be found, and special thanks to the Blogengamot for their continuing hard work on the site.

Congratulations, Travis! I know, in part, how you’re feeling…just a few weeks ago, I finished my honors thesis (The Last Enemy: Harry Potter and th Problem of Evil), and even though it’s a mere 31 pages, it was one of the better moments of my life. :)

RenaBlack, congratulations! Sounds like a great paper. The concluding chapter of my book is called “The Last Enemy.”

Well done Travis.

I was just about to throw my tankard into that corner of the bar to see if whatever it was over there would only growl or come out swinging.

Well done Travis!
I’ve been putting coins in a jar saving up to purchase the book. Will it cost extra for a signed copy?

RenaBlack, will you be publishing your thesis anywhere? It sounds great!

Congratulations Travis. Well done. :)

Congrats, Travis. I can only imagine how you must feel.

I wonder if this book will be any good…! ;)

…And in ten years’ time you’ll be able to publish an anniversary edition complete with new cover and bogus – bonus – material.
