Writing Update
Well, here we go again. Clockwork Immortal has been out for a while now and the rating are in. A solid 4. I’
m not kidding. With the expectation of one 2, and two 3s and two 5s everyone else has rated it a 4. It even has 4.0 rating on Goodreads.
Not exactly the kind of reaction I would have liked but so long as most people enjoy it then I am fine with this.
But now that Clockwork Immortal is over and done I have turned my attention back to the Dynasty Saga. The first thing I am doing is rereading the previous books as a way of refreshing myself on everything that happened. Part of this also means doing a reedit of them as well. In all honesty Whenever I finish a book I should set it aside for a month or so and then go over it one last time with fresh eyes. But greed usually wins out over sensibility and I end up publishing it as soon as I can.
I have actually already finished going over the first book and have published the correction. I am happy to say I cleaned it up quite a bit. I even added about another 15 hundred words. Don’t worry I haven’t added anything new, but I did change some minor things and hopefully fixed a lot of flow problems.
In truth the reason that the first book was as bad as it was, or is, was simply that I never intended to publish it. I wrote it only for fun and while I was writing it I never once stopped and went over what I had previously written. Now I go over every chapter the day after I wrote it and am constantly going over the whole thing again and again.
I simply realized at one point that I had a full novel on my hands and I published it thinking that most people would disregard it and pay it little mind. However when people actually did like it, this drove me to putt all my effort into the next one. Sadly this does not make up for the lackluster writing in the first book. I hope this new revised edition helps at the very least.
Tomorrow I will start going over book two and then book three. Once I have finished with them I will start in earnest working on book four ‘The Divine Empress’. So until then please stay with me and have a good day.
