James Matthew Smith's latest update for Of Wood and Stone

Sep 22, 2016

Hello everyone!  It’s been nearly two weeks since I’ve sent you and update and for that I’m sorry.  I’m here to remedy this but in the interest of those of you who are future sensitive, MINOR SPOILER ALERT AHEAD!

Chapter Five has turned out to be a bit of a bugabear which is hilarious, because it involves a fight with a bugabear.  Which is the problem.  Apparently, I’m very much out of practice in writing a fight scene and sadly I’ve hinged the second quarter of the novel on what happens in the fight so I REALLY need to nail this scene.  I think I’ve got the framework finished and now just need to add the paint that is descriptors around the nouns and verbs I’ve already written.  The plan is to post Chapter Five next week and get back to weekly updates.

SPOILERS AVERTED!  So, to wrap things up, spoiler free.  Chapter Five should be going up next week.  Should be back to Weekly updates after that.  I’m finding the task of marketing this project while trying to write the book is extremely difficult and maybe ill-advised but I will soldier on as best I can.  If you like what you’ve read, please comment and share the project on all of the social medias!  The more we get the word out, the more I can focus on the writing and less on the marketing.  Either way, thank you all for your support!
