Wednesday Update Time!

- I plan to be done with my final read this weekend for The Galactic Web, Book 3 of The Evaran Chronicles II. Five days until it's in the hands of Miranda for professional edit!

- I've rewritten most of the first scene of The Portal Dilemma, Book 4 of The Evaran Chronicles II. My next writing cycle should see the first chapter done!

I hope your week is going well!

I hope you have a great Monday and rest of week!

Sunday Update Time!

- I'm continuing my final read of The Galactic Web, Book 3 of The Evaran Chronicles II. The professional edit date has moved up from July 21 to July 14, so only eight days away! One thing that hit me while reading is that I didn't have a "The Story So Far" section like the Evaran Chronicles. I'm going to add it in for this book, along with a "The Team" section, similar to how it's done in The Inspector Dalton Files.

- I finished the low-level outline for The Portal Dilemma, Book 4 of The Evaran Chronicles II. I'm also adding in the "The Story So Far" and "The Team" section to this. I started writing on this, but didn't want to have to reestablish the full story on who was who.

As an example, Kate and Evot are headed to the house of Kate's Aunt Jane. After five paragraphs explaining who Kate and Evot were, I realized I didn't have a section like in the Inspector Dalton Files that handles those references. I think it also helps readers who want to recheck that information while reading through.

I hope you had a great weekend, and if you celebrated the 4th, I hope it was a good one!

A Short Wednesday Update!

- I'm continuing my final read of The Galactic Web, Book 3 of The Evaran Chronicles II. It's a slower read as I'm dissecting every line and ensuring that everything is in order. Nineteen days until professional edit!

- I'm hoping to finish the low-level outline of The Portal Dilemma, Book 4 of The Evaran Chronicles II, by Sunday. Then it's writing time!

I hope your week has gone well and you have a great holiday weekend!

I hope you have a great Monday and rest of week!

Sunday Update Time!

- I've finished the redundancy pass on The Galactic Web, Book 3 of The Evaran Chronicles II. I'm doing my final read now! My schedule for this is:

July 21 - Professional edit
August 21 - Proofreading
August 29 - eBook Launch on all retailers
September 1 - Audiobook Creation

- I've gone back to the high-level outline for The Portal Dilemma, Book 4 of The Evaran Chronicles II, as I had an idea I wanted to add. It's big enough that it changes a few things. I don't think it will take to long to fold in, then I'll be back on the low-level outline. I'm targeting mid-July to start writing!

I hope your weekend is going well!

Wednesday Update Time!

- I've resolved 34/54 redundant words in The Galactic Web, Book 3 of The Evaran Chronicles II. I'm on track to be done with this by Sunday.

- I've started the low-level outline for The Portal Dilemma, Book 4 of The Evaran Chronicles II. I've had to rearrange a few things from the high-level outline, in particular the order of some events, as I port it over to chapters/scenes. It's coming along, though.

I hope your week is going well!

A bit late on my part, but I hope you had a great Monday, and may the rest of your week be great!

Sunday Update Time!

- I've resolved 18/54 redundant words in The Galactic Web, Book 3 of The Evaran Chronicles II. The first 5 words took the longest, but the remaining words should go much faster. I hope to be done by next Sunday with this, then can begin my final read.

- I finished the high-level outline for Book 4 of The Evaran Chronicles II. It's tentatively titled The Portal Dilemma. Inspector Dalton Kingston and Evot join the gang on this one. The next step is to move it to the low-level outline which is where everything is broken into chapters and scenes. Then it's writing time!

I hope your weekend is going well!

Wednesday Update Time!

- I've finished the formatting/third read of The Galactic Web,Book 3 of The Evaran Chronicles II, in Microsoft Word. The next step is the redundancy pass, where I check for overused words and try to reduce it.

I've gotten better and not overusing words over the years, so while the list of words has grown, there are fewer instances I have to clean up. This is the longest pass in my self-edit phase, and I plan to be done by early July. Then I do a final read/cleanup before sending it to Miranda for professional edit on July 11!

- I'm about half done now on the high-level outline for Book 4 of The Evaran Chronicles II. I have the premise and all arcs outlined, I just now need to slot them into the book structure. I'm hoping to have this done in the next two weeks, then it goes to the low-level outline where it's broken into chapters/scenes. Then it's writing time!

I hope your week is going well!
