All week, I’ve been laser-focused on third (technical) edits to a novel. It was very much a case of fresh eyes, since I hadn’t seen the rough draft since October. I’m quite happy with the results and it’s on an excellent glide-path. Once it finishes a final editing round, you should see it in the summer.
Speaking of glidepaths, another, most likely final, burst of gratitude to those who’ve bought “A Fair Trade” on Bookapy. As is the way of things, it’s dropped off the front page to tumble into the murk among all the other works from far-better authors. But I remain pleased it could entertain so many of you. For the freefolk, Chapter 21 will be posted today. No spoilers as many aren’t caught up, but tick tock, time’s beginning to race faster for Kyle. And Chapter 22 will be available to Subscribestar supporters.
On Monday, I commence working on the sequel to “Aiden and The Ring.” Its rough draft was scribbled during last year’s NaNoWriMo so this will be its second editing round, wherein I tease out details and ensure proper flow, characterization, plot dynamics, blah, blah, blah. It’s a lot of fun and should lead to an even more intriguing tale as Aiden continues his struggles.
In the meantime, this weekend I’m scribing indulgent short stories. Gotta keep the muses satiated or they annoy me while I’m trying to edit. Sigh.
