I am steadily working on editing book 1 and adding in some new things as I go along. I have not added anything major, yet. There was one mention that was quite different from before, but minor in the scope of changes I will be making. I am quite sure my total word count will […]
Current Word Count: 42,639 I had the pleasure and opportunity to go to the Twenty Øne Piløts concert at the Pepsi Center in Denver on October 27th. I got to the stadium at 4:30 am and was told I could not line up until 6:00 am. I went back to my car to warm up…oh, […]
Current Word Count: 16,027 I picked up my beautifully printed books and mailed them out two days ago. I have been working so hard to send out a finished, professional book. After many rounds of editing and a lot of effort, I am very pleased with the way the book turned out! While my timeline […]
Current Word Count: 7,923 I received the proof of my book, and I have been going through it. Needless to say there are errors. Most of the issues inside the book are either missing commas or design choices that need to change. The book cover is also very dark and too red. It did not […]

Current Editing Count: 75 of 154 pages Ok, maybe I am not editing my life away, but it feels like it sometimes. Don’t get me wrong, I actually like this process. I have become a pro at adjusting the tense of each sentence, then going back to edit for content. Rinse, repeat, and dry. Maybe, […]
Another leg of the tour, huh? That was unexpected. I don’t think this changes anything, because there is still a break between the festivals (9/7/2019) and next leg of the tour (10/9/2019). It is a small window of time, so I need to get the manuscript mailed out by 9/1/2019. If I mail the book […]
