I’ve got a lot to get done this week beyond Revision Xibalba, some that I forgot about. Like E-Book Week. So I’ll be working on that frantically this weekend too.
Meanwhile, I did finish the next section in the Maya story. It was more than a simple polish, since a major side character’s motivation changed, but I finally broke 70K (72,659 words now).
To do list by Monday:
- Write new Quinn section for the Maya story. If I’m on a roll, write Tara’s section too.
- First pass edits of Road.
- Final blurb/tag line doc on Dear Sir (Letters).
- Polish The Shadowed Blood and pull together a pdf to give away next week.
