I finished the third draft a week and a half ago and think I’ve incorporated all of the editor’s feedback in a way that makes sense and works for the story. The next step is that I have to go through the process of reading the entire third draft again, page by page, chapter by […]
I won’t lie, when I first got Lauren’s feedback on my second draft, I was disheartened. I wanted to just throw the whole thing away and give up. With the lack of success of A Sour Chord and the negative feedback for the (then current) draft of My Last Days, I thought it might be […]
It’s here! It’s here! It’s finally here! Sorry, I’m a bit excited. I got the final edits from my editor over the weekend after what felt like a few days short of eternity. Now that I’ve seen the complete edits, I understand why they took so long. To say that Word’s “Track Changes” contained a […]
The editing process has come to sort of a screeching halt. It seems like that, anyway. I guess I didn’t anticipate that this would take so long. I finished the first draft 9 months ago and have been going through the editing process since. So far, I’ve: Had Austin read through the whole thing and […]
Through no fault of anyone’s, it seems like this whole editing process is taking way longer than I anticipated or want it to. Six weeks ago, I put work on My Last Days on hold, so I could get back into the mindset of the characters for A Sour Chord, so the editing would be […]
I didn’t realize it had been so long since I’d updated the progress blog here. Over the last three weeks, a bit has changed with things. My new (wonderful) editor, Lauren, sent me her initial feedback earlier in this month, which I’ve read at least half a dozen times by now. I agreed on most […]
It didn’t occur to me until I just typed the title of this post that both of my first two books have three word titles. Completely unintentional, I assure you. Since my last update, a number of things have happened. So let’s catch you up, shall we? I launched this here website. It’s not entirely […]
As I sit here watching Die Hard on this fine Saturday morning, I thought I’d post an update on where things are. I finished the third draft early this week. There’s around eight new chapters and three or four have been expanded further, but were previously existing chapters. I’ve also spoken with a few more […]
Based on the feedback I received from the four folks that finished reading A Sour Chord, I’ve revised the book to complete the third draft. I’m really pleased with the first feedback! I sent out the book to a total of 7 people and heard back from 4, so I’ve done some revisions based on that […]
