So the Hippo Events are over — technically they’ve been done for, like, a month and here I am not having posted for a while, y’all. But I can return here with amazing news on my writing progress — TSOC draft 2 is finished (but wait, there’s more!) and is being sent out to alpha-readers! So it is officially shelved for the next two months until I get all their feedback. “But Charlie, what will you do with all that extra time now that TSOC is on hold?” I hear you ask. Well, work on Evercrown of course! And that’s exactly what I’ve been doing !
Evercrown chapters 1 & 2 have been edited to draft 3 — boom. Chapter 16 is edited to draft 2 — boom! Draft 1 of chapter 17 is officially written as of yesterday and due for a draft 2 edit today — DOUBLE BOOM! But that’s not all, dear reader — oh no, I have even more awesome news!
It’s in the early stages, but another writing project has entered the thought-dump phase of the writing process and due for actual plotting sometime next week! I’m so excited about this new project, y’all, it’s letting me dip my toe into the “who-done-it” genre while still being very dark urban-fantasy/supernatural — which is my specialty haha. And, once it’s fully plotted out, it’ll give me another writing project to divide my week so I’m not stuck with two days of writing and then editing throughout the rest of the week — which isn’t even something that I do because it takes me half the time to edit than it does to write. (I know, I know, I don’t know how to take a break.)
Alright y’all, that’ll be it from me today. I promise to post on here more regularly and keep y’all up to speed on my progress! Remember to always be artsy and keep writing or painting or cooking — whatever your craft is — because if you lose it, you lose a piece of yourself. Bye!
