Writing
The first draft of Foreign & Domestic is done. All 108,000 words.
Without editing or formatting it is several hundred pages. Not long for a thriller by any means. Perhaps it is too long for my first offering. We shall see.
Editing
Now that the first draft is done. The next step is the self edit. I am told it can take fifty plus hours to read, and fix the issues with the first draft before it is ready to send off to the editor. Well, here we go: full steam ahead between the buoys.
Publishing
I have signed up for a master class geared towards indie authors wanting to self publish successfully without the need for traditional publishing firms.
