CM Simpson: Writer & Gamer

This year has so far seen a release each month. In the first quarter, we saw additions to three different series. The first was A Collection of Shifters , the thirteenth volume in the C.M.'s Collections series, which has brought together all the short fiction and poetry written to a certain theme. This one brought together all the shifter stories...or most...that I have written to date, and included at least one new novella-length piece. It was released on January 17, 2023. Links to where it can be found are listed at Books2Read, here: https://books2read.com/u/3JoJNX     The second release occurred on February 18, 2023. This was The Undiscovered, the third book in the Strays of Lunar One series, featuring Oliver and Lewis, two werewolf mercenaries in space...as they ran for their lives, while helping one of the mistakes of their past.

March’s progress started well, but then slowed down in the last two weeks due to a back injury. A note to all you other writers out there: If you want to keep writing, you have to care for your back. Exercise might be a pain, but it is also essential to your health. Don’t neglect it, until you wish you hadn’t. Live longer, and write longer.

Last week, it took me a little bit to recalibrate my routine to put the exercise back into it. I did a couple of long days, but the rest varied from 5-8 hours at the desk. Some would still argue that that’s too long. I’m starting out, all over again; the hours will be a bit long while I get my feet under me. Anyhow, this report is late, because I focused on publishing this week just gone, and completely neglected the blog. Tomorrow, you will see the progress report for February, and Monday, you’ll have the progress report for this week. What can I say, but change is… interesting.   Progress: February 18-24, 2018 New words produced: 14,934 Outlines and Notes: 4,848 Words compiled: 28,157 ( The Tiger Letters Omnibus, The Wings Omnibus ) Works completed: 18 (1 short story, 1 chapter book, 8 poems, 8 flash fiction) Works edited: 0 Covers created: 1 ( C.M.
