Hey yall, I’m so sorry for the prolonged hiatus. On top of my seasonal job, two of my dogs almost died — not an exaggeration — but I’m back and ready to keep yall up to date on my progress.
In the spirit of updating, I officially have news! While I wasn’t able to accomplish my writing goals for the first quarter to their entirety, I did add new parts to TSOC (The Seat of Cath) to deepen the story, and have revised all but part 9 and the epilogue to draft 2. Additionally, I’ve also been looking over my work and decided to change something else early on in the story — including adding another part (which I heavily debated, trust me) — so I’ve still made great progress regardless of altering the original parameters for the first and second quarters.
Concerning OHM : Evercrown, I decided not to edit any of part 1 to draft 3 until I receive more beta feedback that way I don’t have to do more rounds of edits than is necessary. However, I’ve continued to write part 2 and plan on editing earlier chapters to draft 3 on my editing days as beta-feedback comes in. This will mean I’m writing and revising Evercrown on two levels, yes, but it will make revising book 1 less of a herculean task when the manuscript if finally finished.
What else have I been doing on this little hiatus, you ask? Well I’m glad you did, dear reader: I’ve been working on plotting out three new works which I will eventually start writing once TSOC and Evercrown are ready to be shelved before further editing. I’ve decided to work on a collection of episodic short stories to write at my leisure to prevent burn out while still working on something I will eventually publish, and am currently plotting another novel to begin writing once TSOC is shelved. I’m also plotting out another series, which I plan to write alongside the OHM (Our Holy Mother) trilogy. This new series will only be early drafts, though, so I can have complete manuscripts to pick up and edit once OHM is finished.
What does all this mean? It means I will be very busy, but these short stories, second novel and second series will not be paramount in my hours before the computer until I’ve finished my current projects. So, fret not: TSOC and the OHM trilogy will remain the focus of the majority of my writing time and will be finished.
Alright yall, that’s it for this post! I promise to post more often and keep yall updated more than once a month (lol). Bye!
