&lt;p&gt;I’m NaNoWriMo ing this month and I didn’t really want to.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I heard other writer friends talking about it all for the month of October, and I kept thinking, shit I don’t need that! I write anyway. I mean I just finished a book and it’s out on submission and have two WIPs already. Why do I need to…&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;

I am terribly sorry (and embarrassed) by that error. The corrected copy should be available merely by deleting the ebook from your device, and redownloading it from your provider. However, if for some reason that does not correct the defect, please contact me and I’ll send you a corrected copy.&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://www.katsuotakeda.com/post/29865837318</link><guid>http://www.katsuotakeda.com/post/29865837318</guid><pubDate>Tue, 21 Aug 2012 07:23:20 -0400</pubDate></item><item><title>Proofs of Elise Episodes 1-3.

Earth was overcrowded and resources depleted. Pollution was out of control. Then the alien race, the Otruk, arrived and brought radical new technologies with them. The orbiting space stations were built with space elevators tethered to the ground with massive woven fibers of carbon nanotubes. Humans left the surface of the Earth to live in the space stations with the promise that they would return after the Otruk’s cleaning technology rejuvenated the surface. The Otruk broke their promise, though, and refused to let humans back to the surface. In 2350, the human race launched their war to reclaim their home.&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://www.katsuotakeda.com/post/18228244852</link><guid>http://www.katsuotakeda.com/post/18228244852</guid><pubDate>Fri, 24 Feb 2012 22:28:27 -0500</pubDate></item><item><title>Progress</title><description>&lt;p&gt;Episode 1 draft is complete and is being revised and edited. The cover is complete too, posted earlier. Deciding whether to include some line drawings too.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Episode 2 draft is complete, but still needs revising and editing. The cover needs to be drawn as well.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Episode 3 has been started. Most of the first section of Episode 3 was drafted tonight. The entire Episode has been plotted out&amp;#8212;well mostly.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;There are twelve episodes planned for the series and the entire arc has been loosely plotted. So now it is just a matter of cranking them out.&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://www.katsuotakeda.com/post/18228101296</link><guid>http://www.katsuotakeda.com/post/18228101296</guid><pubDate>Fri, 24 Feb 2012 22:26:03 -0500</pubDate></item><item><title>ELISE Episode 1 cover</title><description>&lt;img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lzxgxwtTt31roz8t9o1_500.jpg"/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;p&gt;ELISE Episode 1 cover&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://www.katsuotakeda.com/post/18225610309</link><guid>http://www.katsuotakeda.com/post/18225610309</guid><pubDate>Fri, 24 Feb 2012 21:44:20 -0500</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
