Well, there goes another summer. How does this keep happening? Oh yeah, the writing thing…

Writing Update

DSA Season One

Final edits are progressing nicely on the series. I’ve certainly learned quite a bit about my weaknesses as a writer and where I need to focus going forward. That was what drew me to JD Book Services in the first place. I’ve always recognized that my prose hasn’t been as strong as it should have been. This has been the kick in the ass I’ve needed to figure out why I’ve felt that way and how to correct the problems for future drafts.

The Clearing is heading back for proofreading right now. Once that’s all set I can finalize the page count and start getting some proofs made! I wrote the first draft of this book back in 2015. It’s been such a journey, I honestly worried I would never reach the end.

Promethean and The Bridge are my focus this week. Tweaking sentence structure and clarifying certain points takes an incredible amount of time–and patience–so hopefully I won’t completely screw them up in the process.

Greystone-In-Training

This month, I took time out of editing to write the script for book two in the trilogy. The Gifts of Kali might be my favorite script yet. It has some fantastic character moments for Soriya and Mentor.

I’m looking forward to sitting down to draft the book as soon as final edits are completed on DSA.

The Lost Outpost

Remember this one? Probably not. I wrote the draft for NaNoWriMo back in 2017. Well, lately I’ve been diving into the text to see where I can flesh out the narrative. Massive edits are coming this fall for this bad boy. It’s a sci-fi horror piece I’ve had in my head since 2007. Really hoping I can make it work the way I always intended.

We’ll see.
