Good Day,
It has been quite some time since I have written here. There was always something else that required my attention.
For a couple of months, it was finishing the rough draft of Trade Wars. Since I had a much-improved idea of the whole publishing process, the final version of Trade Wars only needed a few improvements, and the final word count was very similar to the rough draft. Whereas Foreign & Domestic had several superfluous scenes that required editing out 25% of the rough draft.
It was not all a lost cause, though. Several of the scenes will be repurposed in future stories. One, in particular, will be a big scene in Book 3 of the saga – tentatively titled “Union Jack” – which will involve a nighttime raid of a drill ship.
After Foreign was released I was focused on keeping sales going. At the end of last summer, I had an outline but needed to get moving on more writing. I am glad to report that it was different this time around. I started planning and writing Union Jack during stopping points in making Trade Wars. I am already almost 20% done with the rough draft of Book 3 – so hopefully it will be out with a smaller gap than there was between Books 1 & 2.
That is all for now. I would love to hear from you about your projects – whatever it is. Take care of yourselves.
All the Best,
Brandon
