The Writing Peasant

To the tune of William Shatner’s “Struggle.”

So before I go all “pity me” I will mention that I am doing great, and things are going along schedule.

It’s just summer. And hot. And I’m whiny, lol.

Now that that’s over with, like I said, everything is going well! I’m about 1/3 done with Draft 6, which is still part of my global edits, but we are on track! For those keeping track, we’ll have Draft 6, which is part of my official editor edit, then Drafts 7-8, where I run the whole series by a couple of more people for specific elements, 😀 And then… copy edits.

GASP.

For those of you who are already aware of my rather impatient nature and tenuous relationship with the English language, this is always the part that I’m the MOST nervous about. It’s the part that everyone is the most judge-y over, hahaha, and after I started learning other languages (when I was ten) keeping things straight…tanked.

Thankfully, though, I have a mountain of wonderful people willing to help me, and are more than knowledgable enough. It’ll all work out.

In other news, the ARC signups are opening soon! These will run from Friday, June 28 – Thursday, August 22, 2024. ARCs are Advanced Reader Copies of my book, intended to read the book early, generate buzz, and also supply honest reviews to major retailers and review sites (Barnes and Noble, Amazon, Goodreads etc.) At this point, because I this is a new genre for me, and it’s been a while since I published anything, most people will be accepted. An option to be part of the street team (basically cheerleading, social media squad) will be included in the ARC signup form.

That’s all I have for now! I hope you all are well!

Onward & Upward!
