Well I started in on the new edit this week and I have the prologue and half of chapter one done. As soon as I finish up chapter one I’ll replace both of those chapters on the read page.
The main motivation for this rewrite was to remove, replace, or rearrange the massive info dump i remembered putting in One, little did I realize I had already done that long ago. I’m glad I went into this, though, because I did find some grammatical and spelling errors I had missed through all of my other edits. Still I’m perfectly open to any changes you folks might have in mind, don’t be shy.
See you later.
So I’ve been quiet for a bit, but with good reason, I crashed my bike two weeks ago and a broken rib is a good excuse to be lazy. We’re currently sitting out about a month and half left in the campaign so you know get your orders in soon.
In the very near future I am going to go through and do another big edit on The Road To Hell. I actually finished the manuscript and edited it several times three years, or more, ago. But, as I’ve been thinking of it recently, I thought of a few things I could do differently in the story or different ways I could say somethings so I figured I ought to take another pass at it. As I get chapters redone I’ll replace the ones that are on the project’s page. So if there’s any advice or anything you’d like to see changed drop some critiques on the chapters now. If the orders are rolling in fast at the end of the campaign I’ll get an extension on it and keep bringing up more of the redone chapters, until that halfway chapter that’s already up.
See you later!
Well it’s been a busy couple of weeks, for me, but not for Battle Flag, apparently. We’re down to 70 days left and still only 10 orders to show for it. Is there anything about the book you don’t like? Because, if so, let me know and if not maybe recommend it to some friends or drop a little review on it, hell even a negative review is better than nothing.
Anyway, I figured I should probably drop some kind of update today, seeing as how I missed last Friday, because things have been so slow going I figured you might all think that I had died or something.
Talk to you later.
So I hope all of you in the US had a good 4th of July and retained all of your fingers and toes whilst celebrating. Me I made the dumb move of picking up No Man’s Sky on the Steam sale and I got lost in that for awhile, which is why this Friday update is going out so late at night, it takes forever to get anything done in that game. Anyway, does that mean NMS is taking time away from me writing Battle Flag? Hell no, Battle Flag is done and ready to go. The only time I’ll have to do any further writing on it is after the Inkshares editors, or any other editor, gets done with it and tells me what needs changing.
That last bit was for the newcomers, to whom I say welcome! I’m glad you’re all here.
Even though the Nerdist contest is over it doesn’t mean you can’t get in early on the preorders. Let’s get those orders going folks, the current tally is standing at 10! Not 10 people 10 actual books ordered. Come on let’s make this thing happen!
