I hope all of you are doing well, and are safe. Figuring things out during all this has been a feat inside itself. But I won't bore you with those trials and tribulations. Instead this is what I've been doing to the best of my abilities. With 6 people in a small home, quiet and not disturbed moments are fleeting. But I have managed to:
Finish re-reading/revising Story 10 (which is 172,000 words), and it's safe to say it's going to get a bit longer... as expected. However, if feels really close to done.
And Story 20 is finally a completed first draft which is 188,000 words (which translates into approximately 775 book pages.) So now I'm putting both of those aside for a bit before I dive back into them.
I picked up Story 3 which is 157,000 words. This is actually the second book I started. (It's called story 3 because the sequel to Taken was Story two when I started this. I was at story five or six when I realized that I was titling them wrong. A story and it's sequels are still the same story. Luckily, I had forgotten to give a story a # cause I already had a title for it. So it sits in Story 2's slot.) Anyways. It seems to me that it was finished in a sense, but I there was more I wanted to write so the story wasn't done. I haven't looked at this story in quite a while so hopefully, i can bring it to a close and have it in my "ready for the editors so I can publish" pile.
I hope you're reading, writing, drawing, making music, listening to music, or whatever art soothes your soul. Stay safe and take care! 😊
