On the Ropes edits received & cover proof

2/19/2018

On Sunday I received my first edits for On the Ropes. That was pretty quick. I was nervous but the notes and revisions weren't bad. What a relief! I have 2 weeks to submit my changes and revisions. I'm hoping to be finished in the next couple of days so I can continue on with The Warrior's Whisper.

I also got the first look at the cover art. It's going to be beautiful. I submitted some minor revisions to the original I received. I don't think I can share it yet, but hopefully soon.

It's a surreal feeling to see something you've dreamed of for so long come to life.

Thinking back on NaNoWriMo 2017 fondly

I continue to hear from the NaNoWriMo folks and that's fine with me. The 2017 challenge set me on the path to becoming a published author. I'll always think of the organization fondly. I'm not sure if I'll ever participate in the challenge again, but I will remain active with the org.

Last November helped me pick up the daily (mostly) writing habit that I hope I never lose.

On the Ropes update

I contacted Evernight this morning to see about edits for On the Ropes. It's been a month since Evernight accepted the story and I want to do my part to ensure it's released in April. I was told it's been assigned to an editor and I should be receiving the edits soon.

I'm excited and nervous. I have no idea what to expect. I submitted a 74,000+ word novel! I hope there won't be too much editing needed - even so, I want the story to be as good as possible, so I'll do what I need to do to make it so.

Meanwhile, it's been slow going but I'm almost finished with Chapter 4 of The Warrior's Whisper and I'm at 15,390 words as of this post.

10,000 words in

The Warrior's Whisper is coming along a bit slower than On the Ropes did, but I'm at over 10,000 words now, so I'm feeling good about that. I'm heading into finishing up Chapter 3 tomorrow and want to at least get started on Chapter 4.

My goal is to finish Heath and Leah's story before the end of February so I can submit it to Evernight by mid-March.

I'm also looking forward to Rocco and Hannah's story next. So many story ideas...so little time!
