The Grate, Part 2: progress
I'm excited to say, that while it was rough getting into it at first, I have started really coming along on the second part of my series.
The beauty of the series is how it breaks apart, how it goes back and forth; while confusing, it will all make sense as the series progresses as I do tend to refer to parts of the first book throughout.
But because of the breaks in the chapters, it was also hard to say what I had to say at first, hard to formulate into words what I meant to say because of how the reader, you, may view it. I wanted it to be understood how the story would progress without revealing too much detail. But detail was needed for me so that I could continue the story, to build on it, to make my start somewhere.
I've finally made my start and am happy to declare that I am 55 pages strong at the moment! It seems that it hasn't eluded me as I thought it would. It seems that I have finally found how I want the story to progress, and how it will pull together, just as it did with the first part of the series.
So, it looks like it will be ready to be edited in no time at this rate!
On the other side of things, I am delighted with how the Short Stories are coming along. My first Short Story book, Tales of Woe, should be published by late June or early July if all does well. I have 10 stories lined up to be included (if they would just transfer from my brain onto the screen! Come one fingers, do some walking!), so I'm excited on how that will play out. I'm sure it won't be everyone's cup of tea, but I hope to at least have one person out there who likes at least one of them, then I would call it a win.
Well, it's time to get back to writing.
Enjoy the reads!
