News: Little Things, Big Progress

  • I feel like I haven't accomplished a whole lot over the past few days, but I have done a bunch of little things that I think add up to big progress.  Math isn't my strong point, but I feel good about what I've been able to get done.  First is the fact that the beta reader who looked over Thunderbird is amazing!  She pointed out quite a few spots for improvement and I'm really happy with the result.  I'm hoping to have Thunderbird ready to submit to LT3 next week.  Plus, she agreed to have a look at Ground of Insurrection too, which means that story will also be extra shiny when I submit it. 

  • I've written over 10k words in Dragon Deception over the last two weeks.  I've reached the halfway point in the story where all the various plot lines have been introduced.  Now I have to converge those plots into a climax battle scene.  There's approximately 15k left to write, which isn't an insurmountable task to accomplish.  I know I said this earlier about Dragon Detective before Deception took over, but I don't see why I won't have Deception completed this month.  Of course, I can't get it ready to submit until LT3 lets me know whether they've accepted Dragon Consultant, book one in the series.  Hint Hint, Nudge Nudge. ;p 

  • And that's it.  Usually I'm working on multiple stories at the same time, plus edits for one or two additional books.  It feels really odd that I've been so focused on my Supernatural Consultant Series, but at the same time I won't look a gift horse in the mouth.  If I can complete all three planned SCS books and begin planning book four and/or five while riding on this momentum, I will be in great shape.  There are other stories on my goals list that I know I'm letting down, but I also know I'll return to them soon enough.  My attention span for one story or series will not last for much longer, which is why I'm trying to get as much done in SCS as possible before I mentally wander in a different direction.  Wish me luck!
