Rewrites and new series

The crazyness that is my writing process has recently gone through a big change with the first novel of my new series. The Thirteenth Chime took me about one month to write and to be perfectly honest I didn't really go back through it after that point. Anasazi took me about one to two weeks to write and I went back through it for edits but didn't do more than a few pages of true rewrites. Firstling (coming out in a few months and book three in the series) took me about one month,and I did another month of rewrite and edits.

For the first novel in my new series I wrote it over the course of three years with more than three full novel rewrites and so many rounds of editing that I can no longer keep track and you know what? Reading back over it today, it was totally worth it. I wish I had given myself as much room to grow with my other novels. Now that I have my new writing style for the new series set up and have gone through so much with the fist novel the second novel in this new series is flowing out of me so smoothly I am shocked. It feels different, like I was meant to write it and the words are there on my screen and written across my heart just waiting to become visible.

I won't announce the release date yet but I will say, the title of the new series is 'Society of Feathers' and the first novel is currently titled 'OWLET'. The date, cover art and more goodies should be coming up soon!

Wish me luck on reaching my goal of publishing four books this year! I already have two written and in the publishing process and two I am almost halfway through!

Wishing you all a wonderful day and tons of wonderful reads!

Sincerely,
Emma Michaels
