Valhalla Post 37: End of July, End of Trouble

Hello everyone. I'm sorry it's been a while, but as I said in my last post, July was just an absolute mess of a month for me. Life is finally starting to settle back into the norm and I'm hoping to go back to making decent progress on book stuffs. Of course, the thing everyone wants to know... Did you make any progress in July? Honestly, not really. But here it is!

Book 1 revamp: ~35%

I was hoping to be so much further along all my projects by now, but our hopes and reality don't always meet. On the bright side, I did start to write a little bit of the prologue book 4. (spoiler I guess, there will be a prologue for book 4). I'm hoping that when I'm finally done going through book 1, I'll have a great idea on how I want to continue writing the series. I think I've also mentally decided that book 1 is the only one that I've going to revamp like this. It's a huge process and it's even more difficult for me because it's like the fifth time I've had to read/listen/write that portion of my own story. It's difficult to get through because it feels so much less like experiencing a new story for the first time, which is the type of feeling I get when I first write a chapter, or even a book. The editing I can get through because it's the second time through, but I've just been through my first book too many times, so revamping it is just a slog for me.

Boohoo-ness aside, I am heavily planning on trying to just power through and to also train to run a 5K in October, so stay tuned for news on both fronts.
Keep running towards your own goals and I'll see you next time, my Rising Stars!
