FOREIGN & DOMESTIC

The initial feedback from the editor has been increasingly positive. One of the parts I nailed was the dialogue being realistic. Which is a struggle not only for new writers, but many seasoned writers as well. I am impatiently awaiting the full report from the editor next week, whilst searching for the final cover art. Finding a stand-out cover is easier said than done. But I am on the right track. Helping me tremendously in these efforts is my incredibly talented artist & designer wife.
As of today I am aiming for a publishing launch around Mid-May.

BOOK #2

In between editing & production of F&D I am continuing on outlining ‘Book #2.’ So far I have a third of my notes transferred from paper to my writing tool, Scrivener. In large part it is the middle third. The inciting incident and the finale have yet to reveal themselves. That sound odd to you? Perhaps it is. This is where it gets tricky. You see, on opposite sides of the writing spectrum there are two types: plotters and pantsers. Plotters, as it sounds, plot the story out before hand. Pantsers, on the other hand, “fly by the seat of their pants.”
I am in the middle because I have a general plan of the shenanigans, er, missions the team is going to embark on. However, like you, I like surprises, and if there is one thing Cam & Co. are good at it is getting into trouble.

So until next time, stay the course.

FOREIGN & DOMESTIC

The self-edit liked to have killed me but I finished it in just the nick of time. I found an editor who just happened to be wrapping her previous project – she only works on one at a time. While we were working out the details I was wrapping up the final tweaks and revisions before sending it off for her critiquing.
I think I have decided who will do the many graphic & cover artworks. I may research a couple more firms if time permits.

BOOK 2

While waiting for the editing to be done I have started outlining the second in the saga: transferring from my notebooks to Scrivener. I am still flip-flopping between which story will be book two. This will be interesting since my first idea was a mix of F&D and Trade Wars.
Titles, release order, cover art are still quite fluid & subject to change at these early stages. Stay tuned: as the saying goes, “no plan survives contact with the enemy.”

Until next time: Stay the Course.
