So, I've made the decision to only publish Book One: Jubagh of The Demon-God of Jubagh quasi-trilogy.

Why?

Well, for one, this is largely for my parents' benefit. Neither of them are huge readers, and Book One alone is 160-some pages when formatted for book-size. This will make it a lot more manageable for them.

For two, I don't have time to give Books Two & Three the attentive revisions that they deserve. Not to mention the careful eye to detail while formatting them.

For three, by printing only Book One, I'll have a good example of how things work with Lulu.com so that I can tweak and refine the process for Books Two & Three.

I still plan on releasing an "omnibus" edition of all three books in one fat novel, with custom cover-art and all, but I just don't have the time to do so now. I'll use my vacation days to go over, edit, and revise Books Two & Three so that, when I'm back in January, I can knock the other two publications out quickly.

Look at me, talking about publications. *giggle* I had a conversation today with one of my coworkers about Nanowrimo and Lulu.com and all of this crazy stuff. I think I may have awed her. Completely unintentional, I swear; I was just kind of geeking and she got a O_O expression.

Those of you waiting on Jubagh - be patient with me. You'll get the whole big thing in January, once it's been cleaned up and prettified. I promise it'll be worth the wait!

jubagh is done.

The Demon-God of Jubagh is done. Rough draft finished.

NOVEL COMPLETE.

Wow.

Now for the editing... but first, blessed sleep...

That's right, I said it. Jubagh is cluttering up my journal and probably spamming a lot of people who aren't interested in being spammed.

SO!

jubagh! Friend this journal if you want to keep up with the story from here on out. Nothing is friendslocked, and I'm not going to monitor who friends it and friend you back - it's just my journal for Jubagh bits.

I've crossposted all the past bits over to that journal with the original times, dates, and etcs, but I'm not going to delete the original posts off this journal just yet. I'm too fond of everyone's comments! =3

Again, friend jubagh to continue keeping track of the story! No further snippets will be posted on this journal.

To my fellow NaNos - keep writing! =D
To everyone else - you just rule. ^_^
