Editing is done on The Accidental Hero…
I just finished editing The Accidental Hero. I added about 3k words during the editing process, so the final version of the book comes in at about 112K words. I’m really happy with how this book came out, but now I’ve got a lot more work to do, including writing the author’s note, the synopsis (Ugh…), the print version, and the cover.
I did something different with the editing this time. Instead of reading through the book multiple times, I read through each individual chapter between three to five times, depending on when I felt like it was finished, before I moved on to the next. I felt like this worked a whole lot better, as my mindset was really in that specific chapter that I was working on, and reading it multiple times in a row allowed me to catch things I might have missed if I’d have taken the whole book approach.
I’m just about to start on the Author’s Note now, and then once I finish that I’ll write up the synopsis. Later today I’ll probably get started working on the print version, and then the cover comes last, since I need to finish the print version before I make it.
Anyway, that’s it for now. See ya next time.
Release info and links for The Accidental Hero…
After a nasty fight with his girlfriend, Eric Kaufman got in his car and headed out for the open road, just to sort of cool off a bit and get his head together. Unfortunately for him, as he was driving down a desolate highway way out in the middle of nowhere, his engine died, his car slowed to a stop, and then they showed up. The last thing he ever expected when he woke up that morning was that he’d be abducted by aliens, but sure enough, that’s exactly what happened.
After an unfortunate and very painful incident on their ship, he suddenly lost consciousness, and then woke up next to his car several hours later. He seemed all right at first, but in the days that followed he began to develop superhuman abilities, which would ultimately lead to him becoming something far more than he ever thought he could be.
Sadly, while becoming a superhero might seem cool to the average person, it does come with a laundry list of problems as well. For example, how do you keep your identity a secret? How do you balance being a publicly recognized superhero during the day with your vigilante activities at night, while still getting enough sleep to handle your day job? How do you dispose of all those cartel members you slaughtered, without anyone ever finding their remains? And most importantly, how do you get the taste of someone else’s blood out of your mouth when you don’t have any mouthwash handy?
These questions and more are all issues that Eric must face as he navigates the topsy-turvy world of being the world’s first and only, real-life superhero.
