10/20/2024: Started working on the third novel, The Priestess of Kelvert Part 2.” Hoping to get more done in a faster pace. I hope my current routine will yield more results. The best thing to do is just plan things out but, have the skeleton done first. I’m almost done with another short story. Once the cover is done, I will try to get some beta readers for it.
Currently Work in Waiting
09/28/2024: The novel is waiting for the next stage in publishing, but I won’t wait on that one. I have another short story coming along and decided to try and publish more of them to do more world building. That being said, the other novels will come along soon. I just need a good pace for them. Current short story, and cover I’m working on, is the “Blood on the Lunar Path.”
Soon To Edit
09/01/2024: So far, the story is ready for copy editing and then proof reading. So far the only thing I need to focus on is just writing the rest of the series. I will try to be a little more timely on that part however and flush out the world. There is more to be done but, that’s the plan for now.
Cover Done Editing Next
07/28/2024: After several attempts, I have been racking my brain to come up with a design that will allow me to convey the story and remain slightly vague. No real secret about the story’s dangers but, here’s the next part of it. Also the other attempts at drawing I made as well.
Book Cover for Book
07/21/2024: The book so far is done aside from a few notes, but then there is a need for finishing the cover. It is taking longer because I’m over thinking the design. But, I need to get things going.
More Art Attempts
06/23/2024: I have redrawn the cover sketch at least 3 times now. I do need to pick one and just go but, I wanted to consider the different styles. The biggest concern is how to keep it unique and decent. I will try something different. I want to keep my influences in it from Frank Frazetta and to make something more symbolic. That is it for now. I have a few ideas.
Book Sirens
06/02/2024: Getting the word out and trying to get things going faster. There is more to complete and more to do. With the current novel just waiting for beta readers, I will publish a short story. I need to get more things completed. Time to be more productive.
Back to Betas
05/30/2024: The Priestess of Kelvert is coming along. So Far I need to get more readers after I just did the line edit. I will also work on the cover and see to fixing the other covers as well. There is a lot more that is needed to complete. So it’s time to move a little faster.
Continuing On
03/09/2024: Currently I am seeing when I can fit in the short stories, but for now I am sending the second book to beta readers. The short stories will be a little faster but, I will try to keep them consistent. That’s all for now but, just need to plan things out.
Progress On the Covers
01/28/2024: Well now I have two of the covers done. I need to work on the covers for the children’s books as well. This shouldn’t take too long but, I will start soon. In the mean time, I do need to work on some of the pages as well. This shouldn’t take too long.
Some Change and Progress
01/21/2024: Considering everything that I am trying to finish, I am taking too much time on drawing and I need to keep it to the side and finish the writing. I am mostly concerned with finishing the short stories. I don’t need them to be over two years old before I actually publish them. So it’s time to move on.
Making Some Progress
01/07/2023: I am done with the second novel and just waiting for test readers. The next thing I am doing is working on the book cover for “Uruywo, Trials of a Dalnocian Mage”. Because I have taken some time, to work on the story, I will release it soon. It’s a lore builder, so that’s main purpose.
So Close
12/17/2023: The next story is almost done for the rewrite. I have about 20K words left to sift through so things at least make sense before I put it through grammarly and then get test writers. There is more needed to do but, this is where I am at for now. Other than this, I will work on some of the short stories once more. I am not certain when I will start them but, I at least have two that are finished. Time to continue. I am shooting for mid-febuary for “The Priestess of Kelvert.” Let’s see what happens.
Current Progress
11/11/2023: Alright so now the 3rd draft is done and with about 85K words to it. It is nearly a new book for the genre. I will only edit this one. No more rewrites. Just edit and cover, then boom. I don’t know how long that will take and this is still suppose to be the shortest section of the story. Not certain when this will be done. Still need to get it to beta readers, an editor, along with the cover, also I may add an appendix for terminology, as a good book should. More to do and a few out of my hands. Keep going.
Work to be Done
10/15/2023: The book is taking longer since it became longer but there is also a short story I am working on. The Dalnocian Mage will help to flesh out more of the world and give better context. I do want to grow my skills in cover art as well but, this may be handed off to better talent later on.
10/15/2023: A quick update for the cover. I redrew it and I think it looks better. Now just for the story to get vetted.
The Work is Steady
09/01/2023: I will try to finish the book by the end of the month. We’ll see what happens. I’m close.
More Progress
06/14/2023: The Second draft for the next story is about halfway done. I will try to get more work done and I have a few ideas on how to get some of the other short stories complete. Just trying to focus more on completion now. Let’s get things done.
The Book is Going
06/08/2023: Trying to hyperfocus on the story. I’m on the second draft, and added more information but, I will try to complete these things. I have put in too much information but, there are things I need to get done. I don’t need to make another month of waiting. So I will focus more and complete the task. Not certain when it will be completed. Goal for now is to get it done before Sep. 1st.
The Work is Going
05/25/2023: There is a lot to get done but, it is getting done. I will try to make as much progress as I can. I want to write a book a month so that will be the challenge. It’s time to keep going.
Get the Work Done
05/13/2023: I’m a little late on this one but, I need to get more of the work done. The first draft is done, I’ve made a few attempts on the second only to slow down because I wanted to go in a different direction. I will keep at it. Let’s see how far things go.
