Greetings honorary citizens of Lentari!<\/p>\n
I thought I’d give everyone an update on the progress of\u00a0Something Wyverian This Way Comes (Tales of Lentari #2). \u00a0I know there are a lot of authors who write faster than me, and quite honestly, I’m trying to increase my productivity and release books faster than one a year. \u00a0I’m getting closer to being able to write full time, but I’m not there yet so I’m still forced to put on my computer technician’s hat and help clients from time to time.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n My goal is to write a chapter a week. \u00a0I set this goal each and every time I start writing a new book. \u00a0Sadly, I’ve yet to keep that timeline and the writing ends up taking forever. \u00a0So, with that being said, sorry ’bout that.<\/p>\n What I can tell you with SWtwC is that I’m holding pretty close to the timeline. \u00a0I’ve managed to only miss a few deadlines but for the most part, I’ve been maintaining my chapter-a-week goal. \u00a0I’ve finished chapter 5 and today I’m going to sketch out the details for chapter 6 in my notebook so I can write it next week. \u00a0So what’s going on with the story? \u00a0Well, let’s see. \u00a0The dragons, along with their helpers, have managed to convince a very reluctant non-ally to join their ranks and help solve the problem at hand. \u00a0Trust me when I say the newest participant would rather be doing\u00a0anything<\/span> else rather than helping the dragons. \u00a0Who is he? \u00a0Well, he’s someone you’ve recently met in the previous book! \u00a0Does that help or hinder?<\/p>\n I had one of the best turnouts yet for one of my Goodreads giveaways when I put up the first ever copy of Lost City. \u00a0Typically I get about 300-400 people vying for a copy with the most ever being a smidge over 700. \u00a0This time I had 1000! \u00a0I was floored! \u00a0I do think I’ll have to put another copy up there and see how it goes! \u00a0Let me tell you, it’s a great way to get your book out there!<\/p>\n Did everyone have a great Halloween? \u00a0We certainly did. \u00a0Bought several bags of candy and only had two kids come to the house. \u00a0Never fails. \u00a0We always make sure we have plenty of candy and we rarely get more than a few kids. \u00a0So why do we buy so much? \u00a0‘Cause we know it won’t go to waste! \u00a0I guess that’s one of the drawbacks of living in a small desert resort town where most people are in their late 50s and up. \u00a0 I still prefer a small town over a big city any day.<\/p>\n Well, I’m off to work on chapter 6. \u00a0I hope everyone has a great weekend! \u00a0Watch lots of football! \u00a0Go Redskins! \u00a0(Yeah, I know; they suck right now.)<\/p>\n J.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Greetings honorary citizens of Lentari!
