On the bright side, I’ve maintained the newsletters, though I’ve been testing adding relevant short stories/flash fiction to them to see if that increases engagement or series interest. I’ve held off on doing any new promos in March. Marketing: I tested a method of promoting BookFunnel promos by creating new banners with covers chosen from the promo, but I continued seeing a low number of clicks. The current draft sits around 111,000 words, (not including the Halloween episode?). Mist Catcher ( Isaac’s Sci-Fi Story): On hold. Next up: Reread the first two books, browse relevant reading material, and finish creating a detailed outline. More importantly… I can finally envision a happy ending, which is kind of important for a romance. While this still has a ways to go, I’m happy to report that I’ve started drafting a potential outline and I’ve found some reading material to help me brainstorm ideas for this book. Huntress 3:I’ve got the beginnings of a viable outline! □ This one has been causing me trouble for a while, and I finally figured out that I’ve been looking at the wrong fairy tales for reference. After that, it’ll be ready for a read-aloud and proofreading. Still needs a couple scenes smoothed out, and I need to cross-reference the final scene in The Wind Mage and the Wolf (from Joran’s point of view). The Wind Mage and the Wolf (“Livena (The Wind Mage of Maijev”) & Nuaka (“The Gryphon and the Mountain Bear”) cross-over / A Legends f Cirena short novel) : Joran’s short story is on hold. Goals: Add the last few scenes and polish. Completing the rough draft is my plan for next month. The Dark Forest of Aneth (“Ro’nor (“The Restless Sands of Neel”) & Zynia (“The Dragons of the Mist”) cross-over / A Legends of Cirena short novel) : On hold at 52,000 words. The Legends of Cirena – Collaborative Adventure Facebook Group: On hiatus. Once complete, this is intended to be a newsletter-exclusive story. Next step is to write the rough draft of the new scenes and begin revising the original scenes to match the updated outline. Wishing Blade Prequel (Prequel novella for The Wishing Blade): On hold. On hold. Next step is to finish adding the remaining outline to Scrivener, review that outline for missing plot points, and then write the rough draft. TWB 4: (Book Four of The Wishing Blade series). Add Isaac’s notes from Deceived #5 (formerly #4) into the manuscript, revise Deceived #5, and revise #6 (formerly #5) before handing it to Isaac for his feedback. Next up: Continue revisions to Deceived #3. I’ve also determined that I probably won’t be releasing book #3 on Wattpad (it largely boils down to Betrayed not being the right genre for the platform), but I haven’t yet decided whether to continue releasing it serially on another platform or to return to ebook-only releases. After this is complete, I plan to send this to beta-readers for any remaining feedback, and then set a release date for the ebook. Next step is to merge the two revised drafts and start writing the missing scenes.īetrayed (Deceived #2): I’ve completed the basic ebook formatting, and I’ve started one final proofread/revisions of minor notes. On hold while working on Legends of Cirena #9. Blurb needs to be updated across all retailers.Ĭhanging Tides: (Book 4 of the Distant Horizon series). Starless Night:(Book 3 of the Distant Horizon series). Sweetweird Genre Notes: On hold with 2,100 words. Next up: Organize the chapters in Scrivener, make revisions per Isaac’s suggestions, re-review the chapters, and then upload to Ream. At a minimum, however, I’d like to have at least three chapters and their exercises complete. I would prefer to have six chapters and their exercises complete before starting the subscription, with the idea that I’d have a six month buffer zone for creating new chapters, as well as using the six month mark to evaluate how the plan is holding up. Unfortunately, I need to fully reorganize this project (which is currently split between Google Docs and Scrivener), and then create a color-coded system for what stage a chapter is in so that I will be better prepared to move forward with the next steps. I have another one-to-two chapters partially revised. Once that’s done, this will likely return to being a back-burner project while I finish other projects.Ĭrafting Your Fictional World (Non-Fic Book): At the moment I have the introduction, two complete chapters, and one complete exercise related to those chapters ready to go, based on the feedback from Isaac. Next up: Finish writing the rough draft for missing scenes, then do a revision pass on the earlier scenes now that I better remember how the magic system works. Isaac’s Untitled Fantasy Story: On hold with a rough draft of 58,000 words. I’ve highlighted the projects that had changes in blue. Here’s the Infinitas Publishing updates for the past month and a half(-ish)! □
