News: Editing and Writing

  • Things I've found out today:  1) USPS lost my application for that job in the mail.  2) The insurance company is telling me "their policy changed" which is really just idiot speak for they made a mistake and I'm the one who gets to suffer.  and 3) I am awesome at editing when I'm pissed off. 

    I only have one last issue to fix in the edits for Heart's Tournament!  I can't believe I've gotten so much done in so little time.  I'm also going to read through it again because I've found some inexplicably misspelled words and misplaced commas that were not there when I submitted the last round of edits.  I want to make sure I catch all of those too.  I should have it back to LT3 by tonight or tomorrow, which means I can finally focus on Road to Home again! 

  • I've also been writing a lot.  Over the past few days I've gotten almost 2k written in The Oracle's Golem and 1k in If a Butterfly Don't Fly.  It's not the most I've ever written at one time, but I'm plodding along and as long as I keep this up I'll have Golem and maybe even some of my other projects ready to submit soon! 

  • I have been figuring out the rest of my Oracle series, since I'll have Golem done soon and will want to start writing book four after that.  Here's how it plays out: 
                            1. The Oracle's Flame
                            2. The Oracle's Hatchling
                            3. The Oracle's Golem
                            4. The Oracle's (Air)
                            5. The Oracle's (Water)

                            1. The Sentinel's (Dark)
                            2. The Sentinel's (Light)
                            3. The Sentinel's (Oracle)

    Did any of that make sense?  The first series has five books in total.  Golem is outlined and halfway done.  Air and Water are just getting their outlines formed in my head.  Then there's the second series.  At the moment it's a half-formed idea about another Oracle (The Sentinel) and the magic he oversees.  I don't know more than that, to be honest, but his story wants to be written too.  The second series could be just one book or it could be another five, I don't know yet, but I'm looking forward to finding out!
