Weekly Progress Update

Weekly Progress Update

Hello!

Book Two is very, very close to completion for the first draft! I put in a bit of extra time this weekend and got another chapter done (it was mainly hard to stop writing, since I’m at the final bit where the stakes are really high). I think I have between 4 – 6 chapters left before its complete.

So, that’s pretty exciting – and terrifying – but exciting.

It should only take 1 – 2 more weeks to finish the first draft, which is right on schedule. I started writing Book Two on September 1st, so it took 6 months to write, which is my goal. Normally, I would start right on Book Three right away in order to maintain momentum. But it may be delayed a month or so while I work on editing Book Two, we’ll see. If it’s only a month it shouldn’t be too bad, but I’d like to jump right in and transition immediately.

On another note, Book Two now has a Title! I’ll be revealing the title on February 19th in the week’s Fifty Word Fantasy Prompt. The third place Title option was this week’s Prompt, ‘Swarm‘. On the 12th, the runner up Title option will be in the Fifty Word Fantasy Prompt.

I’m really excited to get to reading and editing Book Two. I haven’t read any of what I’ve written (excluding the Prologue) yet. There will be hundreds of mistakes and probably a few sections in need of a rewrite, but it’s all part of the process. Hopefully readers enjoy this entry – there is certainly a lot of intense scenes with high stakes and even more action than Orcblood Legacy: Honor.

But, you’ll all have to let me know what you think!

That’s it for this week, check out the update next week to see if the first draft manages to get completed.
