This web site rebuild means looking at the covers and jacket copy and covers of everything. The collections I self-pub can't afford custom covers, so I do them myself. Of those, I actually like the #apocalypseMoi cover.
-
This week's #60secondsofWIP is out. "Fresh Piglets."
For reasons discussed in the writeup, this is a previously published #prohibitionOrcs tale exclusive to #apocalypseMoi.
-
I just packaged the last #apocalypseMoi Kickstarter reward for shipping! The snow all melted, it stopped raining yesterday, all I need to do is walk to the FedEx dropbox at the end of the street!
Outside:
-
Today:
Balance and justify credit card. Track down missing receipts.
Pay monthly bills.
Write Patronizer "See the Sausage Being Made" post.
Write blog post on how I run my ebookstore: https://mwl.io/archives/23169
Track down problem with #apocalypseMoi Kickstarter shipping, get that sorted.
Record tomorrow's #60SecondsOfWIP, on "Accidental Deployments."
No work on #ryoms, but all the administrivia is handled for November. Calling it a successful day.
-
Shipping #apocalypseMoi Kickstarter rewards today.
Drop ships complete. Now sorting out addresses, printing shipping labels, and running amok with a tape gun.
Ah, the exotic life of a writer. Occasionally indistinguishable from a shipping & receiving clerk.
-
Dear #apocalypseMoi backers: you should already have your ebooks of AM.
But if you chose the "All the Fiction" option, your books are waiting for you on Bookfunnel.
Also: the signed paperbacks have arrived. Not yet signed. That would be silly.

Today:
:flan_thumbs: Patronizer "See the Sausage Being Made" post
:blobrat_tongue: Schedule Patronizer video hangout
:flan_set_fire: balance credit card statement
:flan_on_fire: pay business bills
:flan_worried: validate #apocalypseMoi print proofs
:flan_brick: Order AM print copies for Kickstarter backers? -
ah, crap. What the heck am I supposed to do with THIS?
I have now written so many books that storing the print editions is an issue.
-
Me: I screwed up the back cover on #apocalypseMoi. I'll need to wait for the printer to send me a proof and then resubmit.
Printer: Your cover is screwed up, we can't give you a proof.
Me: Well. That's convenient.
-
Okay, that's #apocalypseMoi uploaded to other, lesser bookstores.
Lesser than mine, that is.
You'll be able to preorder from Kobo, Apple, etc, soon. (Or you can get it from my bookstore right now, but you probably already know that.)
-
blog post on the release of #apocalypseMoi.
-
Today: updating bundles on tiltedwindmillpress.com for #apocalypseMoi.
Someone bought "The Full Michael" earlier this week. I sent him a copy of "Apocalypse Moi" anyway, because I'm not a monster.
(Okay, fine, I'm not THAT sort of monster. I might hide under your bed so I can leap out devour you in your sleep, but I'm not trying to be a freaking billionaire.)

Moo Acopalipse by Like Mucus is finally here!
aah no, we’re not at that time of the year yetBut it’s still a cause for celebration today!
Mike Lucas’ (@[email protected]) #ApocalypseMoi is finally in my greedy #AntiLibrary
(or it’s just me that’s greedy and the calibre library is just a long suffering repository 😂)

@mwl
Just grabbed my copy! Can't wait to dive into it. #apocalypseMoi -
Dear Patronizers and #apocalypseMoi Kickstarter backers: you have a book. Please check your update source for an update.
-
Me, working on #apocalypseMoi jacket copy: eleven stories
on Kickstarter: eleven stories
on web site: eleven stories
on print book: eleven stories
Vellum, today: TWELVE stories. Dumbass. Also, that "default number chapters" thing that you always try to turn off? Yeah. It's there for a reason. Dumbass.
-
The paperback cover for #apocalypseMoi
-
#apocalypseMoi print layout done! 176 pages, which happens to be incredibly convenient for printing.
-
Today: the print layout for #apocalypseMoi!
Prepping the ebook is much easier, but print demands much more attention to detail. It forces me to study the manuscript one last time. I always catch one or two errors.
-
Okay, that's the first copyedit pass done. I've had my break. On to the second! #apocalypseMoi
-
Me: "Now to work on #apocalypseMoi copyedits, but I can't do anything beyond that until Madam Copyeditor returns the Kickstarter-backed Afterword."
Email: DING!
Well. That's the next few days sorted. #writing
-
Today: monthly accounting. Blog post on #apocalypseMoi Kickstarter completion. Process copyedits on that book so I can get it into production.
-
The #apocalypseMoi Kickstarter is done, so I can get the book in production.
But today, a writer buddy gave me the title for my Christmas collection, so that's now gonna be a thing. :flan_despair:
It'll be called "Harm for the Holidays," Kickstart later 2024, and contain:
- The Last Multivariable Differential Christmas
- Heart of Coal
- Sister Silence Night
- The Rats' Man's Lackey and the Forbidden Tinsel
- A Different, Better Red
- Next we Rob an Istanbul Prison
- The Last Hour of HogswatchObviously, such Christmas. Very holiday.
But: does this end? does this EVER end? :flan_piteous:
-
90 minutes to go!
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/mwlucas/apocalypse-moi
Looking at how #apocalypseMoi has gone up over a thousand bucks already today, and thinking: we might actually hit the next stretch goal and give everyone another whole novel? It could happen?
Thanks to everyone who's already backed, and if you have any interest in apocalyptic revelation tales, please take a look.
-
Five hours to go on the #apocalypseMoi kickstarter, and: the next stretch goal has fallen! We'll have an online release party!
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/mwlucas/apocalypse-moi
Today's #30DaysOfDoom is Mad Max: Fury Road. I can't show you that, but I can offer "Mad Rats: Furry Road" at https://ratoperatedvehicle.com
Thanks to everyone who supported me. We might even get another stretch goal, perhaps?
-
Tangent to #apocalypseMoi and #30DaysOfDoom and Fury Road:
You wanna see some Mad Max driving in the real world?I have videos of my #rats driving up at https://ratoperatedvehicle.com.
Much less budget, but just as much respect for road signs.
-
Wow, I bet folks will be thrilled to see me stop shilling #apocalypseMoi every day and return to my regular shilling of everything else. :flan_tired: :flan_despair: :flan_piteous:

THE END IS NIGH!
The "Apocalypse Moi" Kickstarter ends in ten hours. It's less than $350 from the next stretch goal, so, we might actually make it? That would be cool. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/mwlucas/apocalypse-moi
For the very final #30DaysOfDoom permit me to go back to the beginning and:
Mad Max. Fury Road.
Yes, we opened with Road Warrior--but FR isn't the same. It really isn't. RW has heavy themes of abuse and loss, but FR is about our humanity and how we lose it.
Plus, some of cinema's most badass car chase scenes.
And take a look at the #apocalypseMoi Kickstarter. I'd appreciate your support. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/mwlucas/apocalypse-moi
-
Dang it, I miscounted!
The #apocalypseMoi Kickstarter ends tomorrow, not today.
Which means I must scramble to come up with another #30DaysOfDoom.
Apocalypse is about revelation. It's about heightened understanding of what's really happening, in a way that wrecks your world.
So I think I'll go with "my own incompetence." I'm well aware of it, yet it always surprises me.
Anyway, I'd appreciate your support. We incompetent people need all the help we can get.
-
Two days left on the #apocalypseMoi Kickstarter (https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/mwlucas/apocalypse-moi)! We're almost done! I have almost escaped!!!
But that leaves us with the penultimate #30DaysOfDoom, and saving the world one last damn time.
Imagine an afrofuturist Buckaroo Banzai, with vampires and barbecues and moon aliens and the False Prophet Buford shilling salvation. Plus, a sexy octopus.
That's ZZ Claybourne's duology, "Brothers Jetstream: Leviathan" and "Afro Puffs are the Antennae of the Universe."
There are always those who want to wreck the world, those who stand on the sidelines, and those who stand in the way. Decide which you'll be and, if it's the first, get ready for a punch in the face.
Zigs is also a cool person. We get fried chicken, watch Star Trek, and figure out how to create despite everything. One of those ways is Kickstarters. Like the one for Apocalypse Moi. I'd be grateful for your help.
