First Feedback
Hello all, and Happy Early New Year! I wanted to kick off the year with an update on where things are, so far as the editing process of the book is concerned. The first of my Beta Readers has finished reading the book, and I’ve taken in the feedback. Much to my surprise, they onlyContinue reading “First Feedback”
December: Or the Road to Publishing pt 1.
Hello all, and welcome to the other side of NaNoWriMo! I took most of the rest of November off after finishing my book to let my brain refresh from the amount of words that had been stuck in my head, and boy can I feel the difference now. I spent a few days looking atContinue reading “December: Or the Road to Publishing pt 1.”
Friday Update #3
Hello Hello Hello! So the big news first, I finished the book yesterday! I’m sure in the coming weeks I’ll have more to write, more to edit, and just more to do in general. There’s every chance that when the book is done, it’ll actually be less than 50,000 words, and I’m okay with that.Continue reading “Friday Update #3”

That means that today, I will pass the 2/3 point of my novel! Now, let’s get to the fun stuff, the evidence: MyContinue reading “Friday Update #2”
Friday Update #1
Happy Friday everyone! This week has definitely been an interesting one. I started the week strong with my writing, with more than 14,500 words in those first three days (Sunday-Tuesday). Then Wednesday hit, and my focus shifted to watching the results of the U.S. 2020 election roll in. It’s hard to focus when the future’sContinue reading “Friday Update #1”

The preparation I’ve done in theContinue reading “Day One is in the Bag!”
Guard Commander Brannigan
Crown’s Guard Commander Brannigan is an old friend of Garsek. The two of them rose through the ranks of the Crown’s Guard together, and were partnered for their rotations. The trust they shared was put to the test when an opening arose in the ranks of the Queen’s Guard, the personal guard of the QueenContinue reading “Guard Commander Brannigan”
Picturing Garsek
I wanted to give a brief update today, as we now have one month until NaNoWriMo (huzzah!). I’ve taken a bit of a respite from outlines and such, and focused mostly on filling in background in my head for certain pieces of the story. As a part of that, I wanted to get some physicalContinue reading “Picturing Garsek”
Not of This World
As we approach this year’s writing challenge, I wanted to share a piece of my writing from last year’s book. I should note, I only wrote about a third of the whole thing, and it ended up around 54,000 words, and a healthy portion of that needs to be rewritten before I can continue, henceContinue reading “Not of This World”
