I’ve finished rewriting Tired. Instead of starting in on Extra Credit, I decided to work on finishing the plotting on Raven and June, and started the plotting for Seams. I may take a part of this week off, but if I can, I’ll finish the plotting of those two novels. Hopefully, I can also start […]
Month: August 2015
Current work, future plans
So I’m halfway done with editing Tired. I’ve added roughly 4,000 words to it, taking me past my minimum goal. Once it is finished, I may just publish it and Educating Goldilocks, then finish with Extra Credit and publish it separately. Regardless, Extra Credit will be finished and published, with the other two, or without. […]
Still working
So I’m about a third of the way done in my rewrite/edit of Tired. I hope to have it finished by the end of the week. Next week I’m going to be busy with life, so don’t expect to see any updates or changes then. Hopefully I’ll be done with all three books by the […]
Food poisoning sucks!
After my last post, I got hit with a nasty little case of food poisoning. So almost nothing has been done since. I have backed-up and updated the website to the new version of WordPress. But otherwise, no changes. Because I’m not feeling my bestest, and I’ve been so increasingly frustrated with Extra Credit over […]
What’s the plan?
So, I managed to find an old (very old) version of Extra Credit. This one goes back to when it was a “short story.” It seems to have many of the important parts that have disappeared. So I’m working with that to restore the version I am working on now. Part of me wants to […]
EXTREME FRUSTRATION!
Yes, that headline is shouting. I have no idea how it happened, but I can’t find significant portions of Extra Credit. Entire chapters are gone, and I can’t even find versions of the book more recent than January. Even the version I managed to salvage a chapter from on Friday has disappeared from the “Recent […]
Oops. More work.
Well, I managed to finish through chapter six. Then I hit chapter seven. I have problems. I noticed immediate problems with the beginning of chapter seven not making sense. I quickly figured out that there was a lot of missing text. When I went back to the original document, it looked like maybe 1,600 or […]
Finished Chapter Five
So, it was chapter five, not chapter four that was the problem chapter, as I said yesterday. In any case, it’s done, and just a bit more than a thousand words longer than the original chapter five. At 2,652 words (before edits) this probably makes it the longest chapter in Extra Credit. I’ll have to […]
Current status of the books
Well, it’s been a few days since I got back, and I figured I would give you a status update on my progress. I started fixing Extra Credit first, instead of editing Tired. The first three four chapters were pretty easy to fix up. The fourth fifth chapter has been the one I most dreaded […]
Vacation’s almost over
In case you haven’t noticed, I’ve been on vacation for the last couple of weeks. While I haven’t been publishing updates here, I have been working (slowly.) I believe that I have solutions to all or most of the problems in Extra Credit that my unbudgeted changes to Educating Goldilocks caused. While I expect to return to […]
