So Novel 4 (which I am still unhappy with the title of, which is why I keep calling it “Novel 4”) is heading off to my editor tonight. With any luck, I’ll have it back in a week or two, which will give me time to implement final changes into the story, get some cover art, and put it out for everyone to enjoy!
Means today is being spent cleaning up a naming issue (I switch between using first and last name for the main character throughout the work, and the most consistent feedback I’ve received is to not do that, so I’m going to pick one and stick with it). A little thing, but a significant thing.
And finishing up some school work, of course, but I’m done most of it already. I like being ahead of the curve… I have to finish reading “Neuromancer” again, but it’s not a difficult read (and it has been interesting going back to a novel I loved as a younger reader to see what parts hold up and what parts aren’t as strong as I remember… Molly, in particular, is somewhat problematic when viewed through a modern lens).
Anyway! Lots of stuff to do, never enough time to do it, but that’s okay! It’s really nice to be busy with writing work, rather than other work. And if I’m really, really lucky, I might even be able to get a few thousand more words done on Novel 5… which should be ready to go by late June! Four novels in 2020… four GOOD novels in 2020, of course!
Back to work! Hope everyone is having a lovely March thus far!
