November is National Novel Writing Month – NaNoWriMo. This year I am participating in a slightly different way than intended. Since I am thoroughly converting from a pantser (write as it comes to me) to a planner (outline before writing), I am using this month to fully outline the Divine Land of Illur book 4. […]
Divine Land of Illur, Book 3 – Current Word Count: 70,608 For a total book goal of 90,000 words, I only have about a quarter of the book left to write. This means the characters are heading towards the finish-line of their arcs. There is a final scene in mind for this book, and I […]
Current Word Count: 56,311 National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo) is officially over with the ending of November. I wrote 35,029 words from 11/1 – 11/30. While the goal was 50K words, I am very happy with my word count. I wrote very little during the holiday week because my family had off from work and […]
The first book in the Divine Land of Illur series is available as a FREE Kindle eBook on Amazon from November 16th – 20th, 2022. Be sure to pick it up soon, since it will only be free for a limited time. For those of you noticing the decent daily numbers I am posting on […]
I officially completed 7 days of NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month). There are daily (1,667) and weekly (11,669) goals that will eventually get you to a 30-day, November achievement of 50,000 words. So far, my daily writing sessions are going well, even though my total words written on Saturday was low. Since I surpassed my […]
Yesterday was the first day of the National Novel Writing Month. The goal of NaNoWriMo is to write 50,000 words by the end of November. If you do the math (50000/30), this means I need to write at least 1,666 words per day to achieve the goal. This seems like something I can accomplish, and […]
I started writing book 3 of the Divine Land of Illur Series on June 1st. A very interesting “thing” has occurred with book 3, making it different in a lot of ways from the previous books. I am excited about this change and hope all the readers of the series will be too. I am […]
Everyone keeps asking when I will have book 2 ready…well, I finished writing it! There is a long way to go yet, but we are on our way. The next step is to self-edit multiple times, and then send it to my editor, Danielle. So much editing ahead!!
I really need to come up with better, more inventive ways to tell you I have finished. Rescuers From Illur has been edited (once again) and sent to multiple people for their reading enjoyment. I am very excited to say that one of the readers did not read the original book. She will be able […]
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 […]
