MoTex: Blog

I've brought on 4 additional editors and we are re-working the already published chapters and then the new ones will start again. No major changes are planned with the already published chapters so the story will be as you remember. It's basically improving readability and tightening things up.

Being new to publishing stuff for others to read, I'm really impressed with how a good editor can reshape things into a better product.

I apologize for the delay.

I've messaged about 15 people on the proofreading list and have only heard back from 1 person in the last month.

If you are a proofreader and would like to volunteer to help me with my Coming of Age story, I have about 20 or so chapters left to go.

I'm looking for grammar, spelling, clarity and possible plot holes or suggestions to make it better.

Please message me if you are interested.

Thanks.

This is the first real story I ever wrote about 12-15 years ago. It was inspired by the Roswell TV show back at the turn of the century. It's about an evil warlord overthrowing a peaceful world and the remnants of the ruling royal family retreated into the stars and just happened to land on Earth... Roswell, NM in 1947 to be precise. It follows the second generation of engineered alien hybrids in a coming of age type story.

There are two books at the present:
1 - "Coming of Age" - which takes place in his early-mid 20's
2- "Freshman Year" - a flashback to his first year in high school

The responses I get will dictate how quickly I'll expand the universe with new books.

I've recruited Zen Master to be one of my editors/proofreaders so I'm looking forward to what an experience SOL'er has to say.

I posted that last two chapters last night. I hope you enjoy it.

I'd like to thank CoullPert for giving me edit suggestions on Bless the Child. I post, he sends me detailed changes and then I repost. I've read and reread every chapter at least 10 times and it's amazing what can get past you, even when you let the story sit for months and it's no longer fresh in your head.

I've had a few readers give me changes here and there, but CoullPert is like a machine!

Thanks.
