Book 3 Rough Draft Complete!

Oh my goodness! The rough draft is DONE! So, you know, step one of 100 done.

Just kidding.

I need to put a bit of time between myself and book 3 before I begin the rewrite to pretty it up. I put at least two weeks between myself and the last two books, but I’m feeling pretty good, and I think I’ll be ready to dive back in on Monday.

After the rewrite, I usually go through and look for more weak spots. I repeat this process until I don’t think I can read the book one more time, then I go through and fix anything grammatically wrong. After that, the book goes to outside eyes for reading and editing. So far I’m still on schedule to release mid-late summer barring any outside forces.

I have events coming up that I’m also trying to prep for right now: a book club appearance, an author signing event, and a short story contest submission. I also have another signing event in the works, but I don’t have any details on that yet. There are other things I’m working on, but they aren’t to the point I can really give any information on them other than to say – I’ve got my hands full at the moment.
