October Update
Hi everyone!
I am back with an update finally.
So…
I have not written much lately and that has had a massive effect on my planned schedule for this year. My plan was to finish Sword and release it by August/September and then start book 3 of The BrightStone Saga. Well, that didn’t happen, and there are a few reasons for it.
Number one is that we had a little baby girl that has taken up far too much time but I don’t care, she’s amazing and that’s what babies do, they are complete time wasters. She’s in the smiley/coey stage at the moment and I love it!
And there’s also the fact we have decided to move house. We have an offer on our property which we have accepted and we’ve had an offer accepted on a property that we really like. This will be our forever home, a home we can put our own stamp on, extend and make it how we want.
So, with my excuses out of the way, I need to get back to writing. My last update was back in June which seems like a lifetime ago. Going forward I am committed to finishing Sword and getting it edited so that I can release it to the world. I’ve not managed to make a lot of progress but I have written a few more chapters here and there. From next week, I’m setting myself daily and weekly goals to try and get it done.
After that, my plan is to start on book 3 of The BrightStone Saga. Like I’ve said before, it’s all planned out and ready to be written. But I need to get around to actually writing it. I’m tempted a lot of the time to just ditch Sword and start book 3 but I need to persevere and finish it otherwise it’ll just sit on the shelf again for another 5 years. And do not want to be doing that. I may not release Sword this year but I am determined to finish writing it!
I also need to read more books. I’ve been sorely lacking in any sort of reading lately, most of it has been emails and scam emails at that. The multitude of apparent reputable publishers or editor-in-chief’s emailing about how perfect my book would be and they think it would fit perfectly with their brand but they haven’t read the first chapter.
I know most authors get these and some of them are hilarious, but it is exhausting and I’m completely over it now.
Anyway, that’s enough of my ramblings for today.
As always, my links are here:
Happy reading and if you like my books I would appreciate it massively if you would leave a review. It really does help me get seen out in the bottomless pit of the publishing world.
Thanks again,
Lee
