Writing, getting back to the basics and editing
It’s amazing just how much life’s stresses can affect your ability to put your thoughts down on paper. There’s nothing like picking up and moving to remind you just how true that can be, but by this coming Monday that should be finished up. Although I’ve missed a solid week of writing, I’ve been working on some of the plot lines during the drive to the new place. Once next week rolls around I should have a nice balance of driving and writing. Driving to help line up my thoughts, so that I can put them down on paper once I get home. Mostly I’ll be happy that the move will be finished and I’ll be completely unpacked and mostly back to normal once again.
I was able to squeeze in about three hours of sleep last night. When I woke up this morning, my arms were flailing as I tried to find the light switch and my Iphone as I staggered in the dark of my new apartment trying to figure out why nothing was where it should be. It was the longest fifteen seconds ever =D
Part of my going to bed so late was that John Conroe came out with his newest book in The Demon Accords Series. Of course I had to read it in one setting, hence the only having three hours of sleep last night, but totally worth it. I just love how he writes.
I’ve been looking a little more into the Ultramarines from the Warhammer 40,000 Universe looking for some good ideas to tweak for the story. I had no idea that the Warhammer 40,000 Universe has been around for over twenty years. It’s quite a detailed story and universe, and I love the powerful Ultramarines. You’ve gotta love chainsaw swords.
Currently I work within the DOD Educational circuit, which is interesting alone in the type of work that I do. But, what is even more interesting is the people I work with and what that means for the editing of Book Two. Several of the organization’s teachers have read Book One of The Last Paladin Series and have enjoyed the story, although they have commented on my need of professional editing. No surprise there with them being teachers and all. Luckily, several have offered to assist in getting Book Two cleaned up before I get it released. I cannot even begin to tell you much that means to me, since editing is my weakest point of my writing.
So lots of good things in the works.
