Making really great progress on the 2nd edition re-edit of book 5…
I’ve completed 15 / 16 chapters now on the first editing pass, and so far I’ve added 18,921 words (about three chapters worth of words). Now that I’m finally able to focus on my work, things are progressing quite nicely. Once I finish the first pass, I’ll probably take a day or two off, and then I’ll start the second pass. Book 5 is where some minor sci-fi elements start coming into play, and things are really starting to ramp up.
Anyway, time for some dinner. Pita wraps with chicken, hummus, and tomato, with a salad on the side. Yum! 🙂
I’ve unpublished all the non-2nd edition books in the series…
Since I don’t really want anyone reading any of the 1st edition books in the series while I’m doing the 2nd editions, I’ve unpublished them all aside from the four that are currently done, and Cindy’s Story. I’ll probably do a 2nd edition of Cindy’s Story too, but I’m going to leave that one published for now.
Why did I do this? Because the 2nd editions aren’t just coming out good, they’re coming out REALLY good, and each one so far has been really beefed up and enhanced. They’re exactly what I always wanted the series to be, and I only want the best representation of each of the books out there and available.
Right now I’m on chapter 6 of the 2nd editing pass of book 5, Immortals. I’m not sure how much longer it’ll take to finish it, but most likely it’ll be within the next two to three weeks, and then I’ll immediately start on book 6.
I’ve also removed the ability to purchase the books through the website since no one ever used it anyway.
I struggled with whether to do this or not, but in the end, I think it’s the right decision, and it’s easy enough to re-publish them when the 2nd editions are ready.
Anyway, back to work…
