Repeated Words
Editing: 110 of 258 pages When you are writing, it is common to repeat words. During the first draft of your story, the entire goal is getting all the story in your mind onto the computer (or whatever your method of writing may be). During the endless cycle of edits, there are so many elements […]

First Draft Complete
I am happy to report the first draft of Book 3 in the Divine Land Of Illur Series is complete. I wrote 81,958 words. That is less than my first two books, but still within the goal of 80 – 90K. I also know there are many areas of the manuscript that need descriptions added. […]

There are daily (1,667) and weekly (11,669) goals that will eventually get you to a 30-day, November achievement of 50,000 words.

NaNoWriMo
Yesterday was the first day of the National Novel Writing Month. The goal of NaNoWriMo is to write 50,000 words by the end of November. If you do the math (50000/30), this means I need to write at least 1,666 words per day to achieve the goal. This seems like something I can accomplish, and […]

Two Book Series
It is amazing to publish one book, but two or more seems astounding. I officially have a two book series available on Amazon. It seems surreal. You can purchase Snare Of Illur in paperback, hardcover, ebook, and it is also on Kindle Unlimited.
