Hey there. Quick little update. I am ohhhhhhh about two chapters away from this second draft of the first book being donezo. It’s exciting and scary all at once. At the moment, I’m sitting pretty at 45k words, and I would like to be between 55-60k for the final product. Honestly, the jump in word count is a little concerning, but my original plan was just to have her ready to go to beta by the end of this month, so there’s some buffer to go back through and add as needed as plot points spring up at random times and all that jazz. Plus, I think I can have the two chapters done by the beginning of next week if everything falls into place like I hope. So it’ll be like draft 2.5 by the time it’s out of my hands and into the hands of someone else.
I’m also going to try recruiting a couple more people for beta over on Facebook here in the next couple days. If you’re not already, you should give me a follow over there.
That’s all I got for now. I’ve been in writing mode for the past several weeks with very little time for much else. I did finish A Light in the Flame by Jennifer Armentrout a while back and that story stuck with me, so in my free time (HAHAHAHAHAHAHA) I might pop over here and rant and rave about it and representation. I have a lot to say about it. For real. It’s been weeks since I put it down and Sera and Nyktos are still residing in my mind rent free.
Until next time, when I plan to write a little love letter to myself over a glass of champagne to celebrate another step closer to publishing, whether it be by the professionals or by little ol’ me.
