A.C. Weston's latest update for She Is the End
Aug 24, 2016
You know how in Parks and Rec when they’re in city council meetings, and Jeremy Jamm says something like,
"Let the record show, there was a standing ovation," and there wasn’t?
Well... let the record show, I sent out my manuscript to my beta readers on the 1-year anniversary of my joining Inkshares!
Haha jk no I didn’t, I sent the first half of it out LAST NIGHT!
I’m so excited, you guys. SO. EXCITED. And nervous. But mostly excited. I really think there are at least a few people out there who will end up truly loving my story and characters, and my brilliant and generous beta readers will increase my book’s chance of reaching those people.
The first half of my book is 82K words long, so it’s plenty for them to chew on. (My book is long, okay? It is full of wonder and emotion and excitement, so I’m hoping it is the good kind of long - the kind where you don’t want it to end, even after 150K words.)
Here are the episode titles for the entire book, for your intrigue:
Episode I: Wake
Episode II: Ally
Episode III: Foe
Episode IV: Earth
Episode V: Consequences
Episode VI: Tower
Episode VII: Prophecy
Episode VIII: Rest
Episode IX: Rescue
Episode X: Whole
Episode XI: Dock
Episode XII: Wake

Alex and I will be finishing up the second half of She Is the End in the next few weeks and sending them out to betas, as well. Then... while we wait... I will be doing the illustrations for the book! I think I’ll do one illustration per episode, maybe two here and there, and it’s going to be a lot of work. I’ll keep you updated on my progress and probably give away a few more of the originals as a prize.
Stay tuned!
