Beta CoA:ITW

[Ben]

Just making sure I’m signed up to beta this one as well as book 4 due to the account confusion.

Any idea if any of the books are anywhere near ready for beta oh great all knowing Tizzy?

Seems like it’s been ages!

[Tizzy]

I know! It’s very frustrating.

It seems like I’ve been waiting an eternity

By my count, I’ve now been waiting nearly 1/1000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

of my life!

Ridiculous! He keeps working on this “day job” crap, and refuses to explain his whereabouts and actions during the night! Clearly he’s wasting time somehow.

[Al’mudo]

When is the beta expected?

[Tizzy]

This one (COA:ITW) will be a while because it has currently been moved to third place by T-A-G behind OOA:ITN and DOA:Volume IV.

Hoping for OOA:ITN this summer, DOA late fall.

[Tizzy]

You shall be notificated when the beta button magically appears!

One must freely choose betazation by one’s own hand, you know, sort of like signing in blood, which, we had to stop doing because everyone’s keyboards started getting sticky from the blood and we had posts that were like thissssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss

[Korwin]

Hmm, I should update the thread title. 2018 is definitly in the past.
If the book is on the third priority… 2021?

By summer for the book on priority one OOA:ITN or DOA:Volume IV, what summer are we talking about exactly?
Northern or Southern hemisphere? The one in the northern one is over. :-“

[The Author Guy]

Yeah, thread is really out of date.

OOA:ITN was supposed to beta this month….work has just exploded like crazy…so now beta is late October. Which isn’t that bad for me because I really hated that Jan 1 release for Book III, all sorts of problems with Amazon employees being off for the holidays and unable to get help with kindle issues etc.

Also, a lot of readers follow the school year cycle, either grade school or college, particularly college it seams. So I can see that sales strongly correlate to non-vacation times…I even see spikes right after finals etc. So Jan 1 is end of a holiday start of school year, and so bad timing, shifting just a couple weeks really helps.

And that sort of schedule, actually, applies to work people too. Jan 2nd is “back to work after holiday fun, time to get serious” so you have a week or two lull, until people are back into their routines.

There really are seasonal affects, it’s really quite interesting to observe.

Once OOA:ITN is off to editor, I resume on Book IV, then after that is COA:ITW after Book IV goes to editor.

[Lodrik]

Just state it when you are not finished… I check this forum at least once a week and the only news i get every few months is that its going to take even longer. I understand that, I really do. You have to work but after I waited YEARS for the next book the last thing I want to read is how its going to be better to wait even longer…

[Tizzy]

You are preaching to the choir.

He complains that “he’s too tired to write during the day because there is some horrible creature keeping him awake at night”

And this is patently a [u][i][b][size=8]LIE[/size][/b][/i][/u] because I am there all night every night gently encouraging him to write more, faster.

And I have [size=9][color=indigo][b]NEVER ONCE[/b][/color][/size] seen any sort of horrible creature in his bedroom keeping him awake at night.

Trust me, I’d notice it. For one thing, the room’s not that big, between me and his waterbed, there isn’t much space left in the room.

[Korwin]

Try an mirror to see the sneaky creature 😀

[Tizzy]

Hmm, so, you think it some sort of spirit that can only be revealed by looking into the mirrors alternate dimensions…
:-k

Could be. Unfortunately, he doesn’t have a mirror in there. I supposed I could get some hand mirrors and bring them in with me….

[Vulcron von Islingr]

I’m I too late to sign up for the beta? I will gladly sign in blood if that is preferable.

[Tizzy]

Not too late.

T-A-G keeps moving his own goal posts.

OOA Beta should hopefully start in November at this point…
