59.78260869565217% Exodus

April 10th, I declared the Rubberman's Exodus to be 30% done. That's first draft, but I edit as I go, so my first drafts tend to bear a striking resemblance to my final draft, minus typos.

Today, I compared wordcount or Exodus compared to the previous book, Rubberman's Citizens, and by that metric, Exodus) is 59.78260869565217% finished. So I'm pretty pleased with this pace. I know I'd had stints where I had been getting multiple pages per day, and I'm not doing THAT right now, but it's been a slow and steady thing.

This isn't the final cover, but the final might be similar.

In other news, I've decided on a name for the next series. I've leaked an experiment for a cover for the first book of it in closed groups, and is purdy. I miiiight do a cover reveal on that when I've polished it up a bit. I'm not too happy with the rubberman series covers. I had a theme, I wanted a cohesive look, but they don't draw you in much.

Anyway, the next series will follow a character or two that my readers already know. It's an idea I've pondered for quite a while, but the concept has crystalized a lot lately. Unlike my other two series, where they take place in the same world with other main characters taking centre stage, this series will decidedly star one central character. In that way, it will be a bit of a step towards serialization.

And yes, it's a she.

Sort of.
