Writing Update—April 24, 2023

Another week. Another update.

Writing Challenge—Shut up and write 2023

Writing update, The House Book Two in the Spheres Series

Current Goal – Complete first revised draft for The House on or before May 14th!

It’s Monday and time for the … #panic … Writing Update! This year is racing by in a blur! I can’t believe we are already heading towards the end of April.

Last week went okay-ish … I guess? There is still a good amount of jumping backwards and forwards in the draft, but I am heading towards the final confrontation and the end. No real progress on the new covers, but I cleaned up The Fragments interior layout with a much better thought out approach in Affinity Publisher 2. So … I guess a soldier on and hope for the best.

Progress in numbers

The House revised draft — 104,250 words
Chapters revised – 2 prologues, 33 chapters, 3 interludes

Writing budget remains very tight—word count target for the House is between 100,000 and 120,000 words.

The House is the second book in a new series combining fantasy, science fiction, and dystopian themes. Find out more under Books.
