It’s been a while since I posted. Entirely my fault. As I predicted my editor finished her review quickly. The results were…. brutal. But then I don’t pay her to be nice. 🙂 In reality it was very helpful and most of the criticism was based on the suspended belief aspects of the story. She …

Editing, Chapters 11-14 of Book 1
I meant to post last week but apparently I forgot. Last week I had intended to announce that I had completed the re-write of Book 1 – Whatever Happened To Extraordinary? I formatted the story and sent it off to my editor and wasn’t expecting to get any results for a couple of weeks. This …

NaNoWriMo 2014 Ends
And so we come to a close of another year of NaNoWriMo. To all my fellow authors who took the time to participate this month, congratulations. Even if you didn’t complete the 50,000 word goal, you tried. And sometimes just starting to put an idea down on paper is all you need. I ended Book …

NaNoWriMo 2014 Week 3
Hi everyone. I meant to post something last week but I have been busy not just writing my next novel. I thought I would give a quick update on my progress this month. I just finished the first rough draft of chapter 6 for book 6 in the Extraordinary Saga. At this rate I will …

NaNoWriMo 2014 Starts
It’s that time of the year again and I am off and running. While the bulk of Book 1 rewriting is complete there is still some polish editing that needs to be taken care of. Hopefully that will be taken care of soon. In the mean time I finished outlining Book 6 of the Extraordinary …

New Book 1 Chapters 7 and 8 Completed
It’s been a while since my last update but I have been hard at work. NaNoWriMo is just around the corner which means soon I need to start getting my head aligned for writing the first draft of the 6th book in The Extraordinary Saga… But more on that at a later date. I have …

New Book 1 Chapter 6 Finished
It took a little longer than planned but the new chapter 6 is done. There’s not a lot of change in the content. Mostly it was re-written to fix the most important part of the story… the plot device. With luck, hopefully more than luck, the plot device is more believable, which was the main …

New Book 1 Chapter 5 completed
It took a little longer than expected (okay a lot longer) but it had more to do with lack of time than anything else. And well possibly doubling the size of the chapter had something to do with it as well. The original chapter focused mainly on one thing and when I started to to …

New Book 1 Chapter 4
After a week and a half of pulling my hair out the new chapter 4 is done. The hardest part of this chapter was trying to make something out of nothing. Originally this chapter had been mainly a filler – a way to move a small part of the story plot along. Upon reading the noted …
