Wednesday Update Time!

- I hit 1k words on Wildblood, Book 5 of The Inspector Dalton Files. I'm still not done with the first scene, and I've been tweaking it as I go. Dalton, Evot, Dravell Zhage, Sazrissa Mortalka, CC, and Syr are on a parallel Earth and going against a Dynkara hub. Evot is ecstatic to meet up again with a fellow AI in Syr.

- I've reviewed 3/28 chapters in my Second Microsoft Word Pass for The Final Evolution, Book 15 of The Evaran Chronicles. I've made quite a few minor changes, but this is going well.

- I've reviewed 2/12 chapters in my Second Microsoft Word Pass for the new series prequel. I've incorporated some of my beta reader's feedback so far, and I think it works much better now.

I hope your week is going well!

Sunday Update Time!

- I finished the low-level outline for WildBlood, Book 5 of The Inspector Dalton Files. I begin writing on it this next cycle! Dalton will be dealing with the events from The Final Evolution, Book 15 of The Evaran Chronicles.

- I've reviewed the prologue and 1/28 chapters of The Final Evolution, Book 15 of The Evaran Chronicles. I've shortened my self-edit passes down to four phases, and this second one is a full readthrough with Prowriting Aid (in particular same words used in close proximity). I also break up big paragraphs and do a lot of tweaks in this stage.

- I've reviewed 2/12 chapters of the new series prequel. This will be done with the second pass before The Final Evolution, and then it moves to the third phase which deals with rules.

I hope your weekend went well.

A Short Wednesday Update!

I'm focusing on trying to get the low-level outline done for WildBlood, Book 5 of The Inspector Dalton Files. I'm about halfway done here, and I've made some tweaks as I've gone through it. I am still on schedule to have this ready to begin writing this Sunday!

I hope your week is going well!

Sunday Update Time!

- I finished my read in Scrivener for The Final Evolution, Book 15 of The Evaran Chronicles. I'm currently converting it to Microsoft Word Format, and that should be done by end of day today. I will begin the self-edit phases this week which should take about a month or so before professional edit.

- I begin the self-edit phases for the new series prequel as well this week. The cover for this is on Tom's schedule for tomorrow.

- Although I begin self-edit phases, my main focus will be on getting WildBlood, Book 5 of The Inspector Dalton files, into the low-level excel format. The goal is to begin writing on this next Sunday.

- The Evaranverse group has been out for a month now! If you're interested, check the pinned post above!

I hope your weekend is going well!

The cover for The Final Evolution, Book 15 of The Evaran Chronicles! It shows Evaran reaching out to Keloton, home city of the Hoxscarus.

Wednesday Update Time!

- I've read 12/28 chapters of The Final Evolution, Book 15 of The Evaran Chronicles, in Scrivener. I've already made some slight changes, but it's going well. I'll get another four chapters in today and I'm on track still for completing this on Sunday.

Tom completed the cover, and I'll make another post on that when I get the final files!

- I've finished the high-level outline of Wildblood, Book 5 of The Inspector Dalton Files. There is a lot of moving parts and some interesting situations. The next step is to convert it to the low-level outline in Excel. This is where things like the chapter/scene split is done along with POV.

- I plan to start my self-edit phase in Word for the new series prequel this writing cycle.

I hope your week is going well!

Sunday Update Time!

- I'm reading through the first draft of The Final Evolution, Book 15 of The Evaran Chronicles, in Scrivener. The plan is to get it to Microsoft Word by next weekend. I should be getting the cover this week.

- I've completed 75% of the high-level planning for WildBlood, Book 5 of The Inspector Dalton Files. I intend to finish it by next Sunday, then begin translating that to the low level outline. Once that's done, writing commences!

- I'm doing a readthrough of the new series prequel in Word and updating things based on beta reader review. It's fascinating seeing the story in a new medium and seeing things that were missed. The cover for this begins on Sep 19th.

I hope your weekend is going well!

A Short Wednesday Update!

- I finished my readthrough in Scrivener of the new series prequel, and it's now in Microsoft Word. The next step is my pre-edit cleanup. I've also had a beta reader go through it, and she liked it and had some great points!

- I'm working with Tom now on the cover for The Final Evolution, Book 15 of The Evaran Chronicles. It's looking good so far, and I hope to show it off next week!

I hope your week is going well!

Sunday Update Time!

- I finished the first draft of The Final Evolution, Book 15 of The Evaran Chronicles! It was an odd feeling to write THE END on my first series, and a sixteen book one at that. This was originally a ten book series, but I wasn't ready to say goodbye to the characters just yet. I'm going to let this sit a few days before starting the full readthrough in Scrivener.

- My focus shifts to the new series prequel and also wrapping up the planning for WildBlood, Book 5 of The Inspector Dalton Files. I'm also focusing on Tiktok as well. No, V won't be doing a floss dance there.

I hope your weekend is going well!

Wednesday Update!

- I hit 88k on The Final Evolution, Book 15 of The Evaran Chronicles. I'm just about done with the new chapter added last writing cycle. I plan to be done with the first draft on Sunday.

- I'm continuing my readthrough/tweaking of the new series prequel. I have a much better idea now of where it needs to be from a character tone perspective, so I'm updating things as I go.

- Tom has reached out to me for the covers. I'll be able to show one of them this month when it's done!

I hope your week is going well!
