October #WriterCheckIn
Still plugging along on #FireSkinAndBone, which is either on track to be a 70~100k novel or a pair of novel/las
Assuming I don't discover a part 3 as I write...

Doing DVPit promo at the moment!
Focusing on revisions to the Nightfall sequel Reflections. Never made so many drafts for a story ever. Sixth one in 10 yrs. Yes, I wrote the prequel after the original story.
Advice: Read aloud spooky stories when voice is hoarse. Adds atmosphere >:)

Iβve had a match-lit moment - Eureka! - while walking the spotted pup for a powerful metaphor on a new novel #wip I had never intended to write & is very original/exciting!

September #WriterCheckIn
Still mired in the first draft for #FireSkinAndBone, which is now up to 35k words and might be getting a whole different 2nd half than what I've already written?
Or at least it might take me a while to get there again

Honestly, just finding time to write in between classes and studying, a lot of which is research as well, is the priority. I'll work on both Hexmark's Fate and Friends Without Borders, though FWB possibly has a sooner release date. Tracking WC with some friends for the month. #WriterCheckIn #Writing

I'm part-way through Walking the Knife's Edge proof reading, then its formatting and launch time π. May design a map too π€
I'm also hosting an informal writer's brunch in Melbourne on the 28th. If anyone else wants to come, let me know!
(I'll book a table at a riverside bar soon π)

I just got my notes back from our editor, so right now, final edits and publishing Lemon Balm is my goal.
Current piece of advice is if you crowdfund, make sure you make your release timeline is realistic. Mine is very ambitious for both rewards and wide release! It's poking (1/2)

I'm still working on the same novel. Everything seems to be going slower this year. I know, with grief, I need to be kind to myself but it's hard not to get frustrated at times.

Blood and Shadows book 2 is my current WIP focus, though who knows what else might get some time along the way. ^^
As to writer/author events - I wish there was some in this corner of the world, but alas, it's quiet.

Hoping to get a solid % through the first draft of Evil Overlord for Hire (novella), outline its follow-up, and release a newsletter extra story from the other series (8/15). Plus the newsletter issue itself.
Applied for the Narratess sale π€
I rarely mention my newsletter here:

- I've got three I've been rotating on but I think I'll focus on Rose this month. Aloe is the sequel to Lemon Balm, but I think I need a minute away from it.
- Hopefully get the editing back for Lemon Balm so I can finalize and format it by the end of August.
- Crowdfunding is (1/2)

1) Currently βΒ The Blue King, The Ten Worlds III. Once Bloodbath & Beyond (the #WIPSnips one) is back from my editor, Iβm going back to it.
2) Iβm reading J. Zachary Pikeβs Dragonfired and learning how to seamlessly transition between POVs and scenes. Excellent work.

Aha, its set goals time again! #WriterCheckin
I need to finish edits for Walking the Knife's Edge for its release next month. And do paperback formatting. Yay formatting π
Have some beta reading to finish too.
And might pop in to #PosterPit on the 16th.

Hello Elise :)
Ella here for #WriterCheckIn
Currently focused on my new WIP, Guardian (about young woman chosen to serve the Fates).
Looking to formally publish my novel, and participate in PosterPit in August!
A nugget of wisdom: Never worry about first draft quality. It's a draft. Typos happen.

The goal for July is to finish the planning stage of the novel so I can get to writing some words per day!
I'm also focusing more than ever before on my editing skills to start my freelance editing business.
And I'm in a mentorship group for publishing! Hopefully it goes well! #WriterCheckIn

I'm happy to say I was so absorbed in edits from chapter 1 beta feedback that I forgot I'd scheduled this π
My July goal is a full round of beta informed edits to get Walking the Knife's Edge ready to publish.
And I'm organising a small writer's lunch in Melbourne. Anyone wana join?
