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!

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

Sunday Update Time!

- I've finished my second read in Scrivener for The Galactic Web, Book 3 of The Evaran Chronicles II. It's now in Microsoft Word undergoing the formatting/third read step. After that, it's the redundant word pass which takes quite a bit of time!

- I've got the main themes for Book 4 of The Evaran Chronicles II. The high-level outline is coming along, and I'm currently plotting out the main story at a high level. Then I break it down into individual areas like Act 1, pinch points, etc. It has some similarities to The Purification, Book 3 of The Evaran Chronicles. The flying platform Dr. Snowden used in The Portal Effect, Book 10 of The Evaran Chronicles, makes a return!

I hope your weekend is going well!

A Short Wednesday Update!

I've read 12/26 chapters for my second read of The Galactic Web, Book 3 of The Evaran Chronicles II. I've tweaked a few things here and there and corrected some aspects that tie in better with later parts in the book. Everything is reading well so far. This is still in Scrivener, and when done, I'll port it to Microsoft Word.

I hope your week is going well!
