March's Writing Progress
A little later than planned, here's what I did in March 2017...
I continued editing the audiobook of Death & Magic. I'm up to chapter 27, which is a little over halfway through.
I started editing the sequel to The Accidental Dragonrider. I've cut about 10,000 words from the first draft, so it now stands at about 106,000. I don't have any particular goal for how many words I want the finished book to be, but I expect a few more of them will come out. (Mind you, I've said that before, and the book ended up getting longer.) I also track editing progress in terms of the number of outstanding comments from myself and my critique group. A comment could be anything from "think of a better simile here" to "fix this massive plot hole", but it averages out. I had 483 comments at the end of the first draft. That went up to 537 after I re-read it to remind myself of what I wrote. I now have 253, which I think is pretty good going.
The writers' group did a few more events, where I sold a few more books and put my name in front of some more people.
