Not a lot of progress this past week, though I’ve begun typing up the chapter that will be inserted into The Audacity Gambit. Funny how this month’s focus was supposed to be working on the second book but ended up being equally focused on revising the first. The stories go hand-in-hand, though, so it makes sense in a way. Regarding July’s focus, there are some big changes at my work that will be taking up a lot of brain space, so that is going to have to be a consideration.…

Another writing focus, more progress!
So, what’s the status right now?

I want to print out the revised draft through a POD, for one more read through, but it will need a cover. Which is why…
Another writing focus, it begins
Looking over notes from a discussion Chase and I had about revising The Audacity Gambit. This is the general tone of the theme declarative ones: “Immortality or power breeds immaturity.” “Needs are what dominate and shape human existence.” “In the end, it’s just you versus Sauron.” Though this month is about working on the second book, the first book is going under revision, which is actually pretty great, as I can build the framework for book two a little easier when I’m using the same materials to renovate book one.…
