Was, Was, Was.

Hello lovely readers.

You know that feeling when you look at a word for too long, or say it too many times, and you convince yourself it’s not a word? Yeah, I’m not entirely convinced that ‘was’ is a word anymore.

Anyway, editing is going… well? It feels like it’s going well, anyway. I’ve cut about 4k words since… Well, whenever I said it was at 109k words. I’m nearly done with this (annoying) round of edits, then will jump to more nitpicking because that’s just how I roll. I’m so ready to finish this so I can go back to the fun part.

Anyway, since there has been some more  editing (cleaning) done on Chapter 1, I reposted it! Here is a link! 

Work is work and I pretend it doesn’t exist outside work. (As is customary.)

I finished reading The Magicians (I didn’t like it, to be honest.) Now I’m reading (rereading)  The Redemption of Althalus because it popped into my head and it seemed like a good idea.

Okay, I guess I should probably stop procrastinating. I hope you enjoyed this “update.”

It’s a post! Birthday edition.

I don’t know why I put ‘It’s a post! Blankety blank edition’ in the titles. It just amuses me.

Note to self: make a blankety blank edition post.  Also figure out how to make text small in posts.

 

I’m currently visiting my family in Texas. Also it’s my birthday. I got to see my stepmom this week, and my father. That was cool. Stepmom bought me a handful of books.

Second Draft? Done.

War of the Sisters, book 1, draft 2 is now done.

Starting words: 87,299

Ending Words: 82,489

I swear I had lost more than that, either that or I somehow gained more words overnight .-.

I know there is some stuff I’m going to need to add just based on the feedback I’ve gotten already but, my beta readers have it, and I will wait till they’re finished with it to start a third pass to clean up any plot holes, inconsistencies, whatnot. In the meantime, I’m going to rest, read, and learn.

Thanks for reading!

NaNoWriMo2016 Part II

Hi there, here is an update!

The rewrite of book two for NaNoWriMo2016 is going quite well, I’m at 50k words as of last night, with a projected ending of about 120k.

My aim is to finish both books by the end of the year and have my beta readers read through it and let me know any changes that need to be made. I’m in the process of setting up a mailing list for anyone that is interested, I’ll post the link here once I get that all setup.

My gofundme is still up and will continue to be for the foreseeable future. I’m still putting money into it every week.

Thanks for reading and I’ll try and keep you guys updated at least once a week.  For sticking through the whole post here is a snippet.
