“Think Agile, Write Better”: I had a few interruptions, but seem to have my pace back. It’s still slower than I’d like because of the “change of voice,” but that’s the way it goes. I’m going to push this hard so I can get a draft out to people.
It’s fascinating to write because it’s helping me review my own writing and see where I did well – and flaws where I didn’t practice what I preach! It’s really a personal book and I can’t wait for my beta readers to check out the new tone.
The Seventh Sanctum rewrite: I’ve got the setup tested, but did not get it out like I wanted because my attempts at “uninterrupted time” did not happen. There’s a few parts where I need an uninterrupted block of time and focus, which I haven’t had. So at this rate I’m just going to keep trying to ram it out while staying nimble.
The Way With Worlds series: As note on hold until Q3 or so, when I’ll write “Disaster Response and Worldbuilding.” Cover conversion goes well – I’m going to try to do one a week. As for converting the books over, that’s probably much later this year.
The Compendium of Writing Advice: I’m putting off even thinking about this until September. I need it off my mental plate!
