You think it’s frustrating for you? You have no idea how frustrating it is for me not to be able to work on fiction full-time. Sadly, that’s just not the way things work at the moment. But writing isn’t a sprint, it’s a marathon. And if there is anything an endurance race calls for it’s patience. Patience and the ability to endure pain past the point where a more sane, reasonable person would give up.
But I’m still slugging it out. I’ve been creating a good deal of content on my other sites. All of it is aggregated on PatrickEMcLean.com — so if you haven’t swung by, you should check it out. My target is a blog post a week and a podcast a month. In the meantime, I’ve hit the 40k mark on Unkillable and feeling good about it. (after feeling hopelessly lost and confused.)
As soon as that’s done I’ll be back on How to Succeed in Evil. Sorry it takes me a little longer than some, but I feel that you have to give the work the time it needs. Otherwise it comes out covered in suck. Thanks for hanging in there.


Scary. I read that and heard your voice in my head.
Full of support for ya up here in Utah! masterpieces take time and I will wait for the wonderful result.
