Happy New Year, I Just Finished Revising Star Master Book 2

Posted on Posted in Scrivener, Space Opera, WritingTagged Leave a comment

Complete at a shade under 94,000 words. Next step is to get it out of Scrivener and into a Word document for my volunteer editors to review. They will be out of town for part of this coming week, so I have a little bit of a breather to get the Word document ready. I should feel more triumphant than I do, but I’ve been fighting with this one in one form or another since November 2020, so by now all I can muster is a bit of weary relief, in the style of Best Van Helsing.

Weird Wednesday: Weirdest NaNoWriMo After-Action Report

Well, I was about halfway through the edit on Spiderstar, the sequel to Shadow Captain, when NaNoWriMo started. When it ended, I only had about 15K words left to edit, and now I’m down to 10K-ish. After that, comes review by my volunteer beta readers/editors, cover art, final revisions, and publication. Publication is a moving target; looking like late January/early February of 2023 at this point.

In other news, I am most likely looking at another radical shift in genre for my next set of novels. Stay tuned.
