January's Writing Progress

Progress continues on Stone & Silence, the fourth and final Barefoot Healer book. I'm nearly done with the second draft, with 81 comments still to implement. That sounds like a lot, though I started with over 600. Most of them are "find a better or shorter way to say this" rather than "rewrite this whole chapter to fix this massive plot hole." I've recruited the beta readers, and the book should be going to them in about a month.

I finished recording the audiobook of Death & Magic, which came in at 46 hours and 40 minutes of raw material. I started editing it, but put that on hold to concentrate on Stone & Silence. It'll probably end up being 11 or 12 hours, which sounds a lot, but is fairly typical for a modern novel.
