Alright, so I have news — I mean that’s the only reason I ever have anything to post, so why else would I be typing haha. I have officially begun putting words on the page for Project Murder House! Now, don’t fret — I’ll still be working on Evercrown and my short story series, Project Apocalypse, and even on The Seat of Cath. It’ll be a lot of work, a lot of juggling, a lot of restless fingers and aching legs, but I’m ready to accept the challenge. But how will I work on not two, not three, but four projects at once? I’m glad you asked . . . so let’s go over my schedule, shall we? AND AWAY TO THE BULLET POINT!
SECTION 1
I will write two chapters of project Murder House a week.
I will alternate biweekly between writing one chapter in Evercrown and one (part of a)short story a week.
I will edit all chapters/stories written in said week.
I will edit one past chapter of Evercrown to its third draft.
I will repeat process for three weeks and then edit all six chapters of MH to their third and final-for-now drafts over the course a week — which will work out to be the final week of most months.
I will repeat until I receive alpha-reader feedback.
SECTION 2
Upon receiving my alpha-notes, I will continue all steps listed in section 1 with the addition of reviewing alpha-notes.
I will compile a list of majority based things which need to be changed/fixed in TSOC.
I will add any and all things to said list that I, the writer, know need to be changed/fixed.
Once all alpha-notes have been red, I will reread TSOC and compile my own notes and divide it into proper chapters (because this silly novelist that his debut book was gonna be a short story, isn’t that adorable?)
I will divide the TSOC manuscript into chapters on their own independent documents on my laptop.
SECTION 3
I will continue to write and edit two chapters of MH a week.
I will continue to edit one past chapter of OHME to draft 3 a week.
I will alternate throughout the month — one a week — (re)writing/working on one chapter of TSOC, Evercrown, and a short story in Apocalypse.
I will edit said chapter/short story in the same week.
Repeat until MH is finished sometime in June - July 2021
I do have a section 4, which will see the resting of MH and TSOC taking its place (two chapters of TSOC a week with alternating biweekly between Evercrown and Apocalypse). However, because I don’t yet have TSOC divided into chapters, I can’t say with any certainty how long it’ll take to get it to its fourth and fifth drafts and then into the hands of beta-readers.
So, like I said, it’s gonna be a lotta work, but I love a challenge and I love bringing my worlds to fruition. But I can’t much of the credit — I’m the one that moves my fingers and makes words appear on the screen, sure, but the world, the stories, the inspiration is all God. I can only thank God for blessing me with the perfect amount of work that gives me just enough to fund my life and my writing career on top of giving me enough time at home to write these books. It’s a miracle even if you don’t believe in them.
Alright, I love y’all, I hope you’re using wisdom and being creative or productive or contributing to something good somewhere, somehow. That’s gonna be it from me today. Bye!
