Sunday Update Time!
- I hit 31k on Redemption, book 5 of the Earthborn. Blake and crew have almost wrapped up events on Hullios. The next few chapters are a breather from all the action. Although I would typically be about the 40% completion mark relative to previous books in the series, this one looks like it will be longer. There's a lot going on there!
I've sent off a request to Tom on the cover, so I'm awaiting that response. I finished the cover brief for it over the weekend, and looking forward to it being completed! I also determined what I wanted for the box set cover.
- I finished the third and fourth self-edit review passes on The Portal Effect, book 10 of the Evaran Chronicles. I'm now doing my final passes on it. It goes to professional edit in 3 days! This is about 98k, so it is a chapter shorter than some of the other books, and is more light hearted, similar to The Unification, book 9 of the Evaran Chronicles.
- I've made good progress on the knowledgbase project in regards to the editor. The mentions system has been updated so that it dynamically pulls data from the database instead of hardcoding for my testing. I've also added a biography section to characters.
The next steps are to allow the series edit/add pages to link books, and implement the races and factions pages. I've also given some thought to the timeline page, and the data model components of it and how it integrates with everything. Lot going on there, and at my current pace, I'm hoping this will all be ready before end of year.
- I've been working on sketching out the details on Book 11 of the Evaran Chronicles! I plan to be done with a full outline by the end of November, and begin writing on it in December. I've already reached out to Tom to schedule covers for 2020 as well with this one being the first.
It's been chilly over here in central Ohio. I hope your weekend went well!
