Charlie Foxtrot: Blog

The next chapter has been submitted and should be up shortly. There are a total of 40 chapters to the end. I will continue to submit chapters as I get feedback from my editors.

Thanks for reading,

I've submitted chapter 30 for posting and will follow with the remainder of book 2 to "A New Past" as I get the feedback from my editors incorporated.

Thanks for reading,

I finished writing book 2 and have reached out to my editors to see about their availability and readiness to proofread. I will begin posting once I start getting edits back and incorporated in the tale.

Once again, thanks for all the support and patience from my readers.

Thanks for all the notes of inquiry. I am working on chapter 40, trying to wrap the story up. It may spill into Chapter 41 (I typically try to keep the chapters around 10,000 words), but it is nearing a conclusion.

For anyone else out there thinking of a "do-over" story, as your character creates changes in the world, it gets harder to write. While geological events will still happen, how do you assess geopolitical changes given your character's impact on the world? It creates a lot of dead-ends in the storyline that end up being trimmed out in re-writes and edits. Honestly, it was much easier writing about Paul before he began to impact the broader world.

Anyway, once the final chapter is wrapped up, I will send the whole lot (chapters 28 - 4x) to my editors and will begin posting once they are done finding my worst errors.

Thanks for your patience, and thanks for reading.

After multiple notes of encouragement and enquiry, I thought I'd provide a quick update on progress. I have just finished writing chapter 38 and begun chapter 39. Currently, book two is sitting at 191,800 words. I am still planning on wrapping up the story by the end of chapter 40. I am hopeful that the final two chapters move along at a good clip, but it took me three weeks to get the latest chapter finished so that may be wishful thinking on my part. Hang in there, and thanks for reading.
