This also means that the release will be different from usual - it’ll be a simultaneous launch in all formats, with a targeted release date in September. Hopefully, that means that they’ll be able to handle a little more of the publishing side for me, which should reduce the pressure and give me more time to focus on my writing. Unlike my usual books, this one is going straight through Podium as a traditional-style publishing deal for all formats (thus why they’re the ones assigning an editor). I expect that to happen over the next few weeks. The next phase is for Podium’s professional editor to review it, at which point we’ll discuss any final changes that need to be made. I’m very happy with how the book is turning out. I don’t usually push deadlines that close, but I’ve been behind schedule for a while, and I had a lot of notes to get through. I spent pretty much the whole thing on revisions to Edge of the Woods, with the final beta reader notes coming in last Monday, and my final manuscript due over the weekend.

Hope everyone has a good month! I’ll post more significant updates when I have them.

It’s very easy to get into a cycle of neverending work and suffering in the long run - don’t get trapped in that like I tend to. I haven’t had any sort of vacation in years, so I’m considering taking some time off when Tears of the Kingdom comes out just to play through that.įor my fellow authors and prospective authors reading this, I’ll encourage you to do the same. Burnout is a real problem for writers, and I’m trying to be conscious of that and make an effort to be better about taking time off here and there. I’m very bad at this - I have a tendency to keep adding on more projects without slowing down. I’m also planning to take some breaks soon. Aside from that, most of what I’m still working on is business stuff - things like looking into changing my business structure, finances, contract negotiation for new projects, etc.Īfter that, I’ll be swapping back to AA5 and Edge of the Woods 2, and maybe a bit of work on W&W4. Yesterday, I got my professional editor’s notes back from my publisher for Edge of the Woods, and I’m currently reviewing those, making changes, making notes where I disagree, etc. Just a very brief update, since there isn’t a lot new to report.
