It&#8217;s been a long time. Or perhaps not as long as I thought, but I&#8217;ve definitely not been able to post as much as I wanted over the last six months or so. But it&#8217;s been for good reasons: I&#8217;ve been working on a lot of writing projects. The Dakota Frost \/ Cinnamon Frost &#8220;Hexology&#8221;, which was a six book series; the moment I finished those rough drafts, it seemed, I rolled into National Novel Writing Month and worked on JEREMIAH WILLSTONE AND THE MACHINERY OF THE APOCALYPSE. Meanwhile, at work, I&#8217;ve been snowed under following up on our PRM-RL paper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"585\" src=\"http:\/\/www.dresan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/thorshammer-600x585.png\" alt=\"Thor's Hammer space station.\" class=\"wp-image-4308\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dresan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/thorshammer-600x585.png 600w, https:\/\/dresan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/thorshammer-300x292.png 300w, https:\/\/dresan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/thorshammer.png 673w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>But I&#8217;ve been having fun! The MACHINERY OF THE APOCALYPSE is (at least possibly) <em>spaaaace steampunk<\/em>, which has led me to learn all sorts of things about space travel and rockets and angular momentum which I somehow didn&#8217;t learn when I was writing pure hard science fiction. I&#8217;ve learned so much about creating artificial languages as part of the HEXOLOGY.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"719\" height=\"551\" src=\"http:\/\/www.dresan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/Middle-Modanaqa-Abugida-v1.png\" alt=\"The Modanaqa Abugida.\" class=\"wp-image-4312\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dresan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/Middle-Modanaqa-Abugida-v1.png 719w, https:\/\/dresan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/Middle-Modanaqa-Abugida-v1-300x230.png 300w, https:\/\/dresan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/Middle-Modanaqa-Abugida-v1-600x460.png 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 719px) 100vw, 719px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>So, hopefully I will have some time to start sharing this information again, assuming that no disasters befall me in the middle of the night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"3036\" height=\"2863\" src=\"http:\/\/www.dresan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/dergabby.jpg\" alt=\"Gabby in the emergency room.\" class=\"wp-image-4313\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dresan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/dergabby.jpg 3036w, https:\/\/dresan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/dergabby-300x283.jpg 300w, https:\/\/dresan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/dergabby-768x724.jpg 768w, https:\/\/dresan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/dergabby-600x566.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 3036px) 100vw, 3036px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Oh dag nabbit!
