book 17 first draft done and status

book 17 first draft done

Good grief. It came together amazing. It was a hard push, I'm going to be honest. But 75k words later, and I have a first draft.

There is a few minor updates I need to make, but its like 99% complete.

This's going to be my last book for a long time. I set up for a book 18 though if I ever want to make one. but have no arc at this time, and it'd be a long, long time off.

For now I'm going to be working on edits for a very very very long time. Nice, peaceful relaxing edits.

I've already done some very very therapeutic edits to book 1, so now's the best time ever to go check it out. But I'll be starting with book 1 and working my way through.

Then when I'm all done with edits. I'm going to make an anthology pt1 and an anthology pt2. although they won't be nearly as fancy as the first edition anthology 1 was. I flat out forgot how I did a lot of that formatting and can't even come close to replicating it, so it will be a lot more basic, sorry. Specifically when it comes to page numbers.

If I have an extremely lazy saturday i'll try to get the formatting down but I kid you not that was like 6 hours to format the first anthology and I can't remember how I did any of it. It revolves around resetting page counts over and over, then editing footing formatting for every other page, and ignoring formatting on the first pages, and it was HARRRRRRD. yes it looked amazing. but it was HARD. So we'll see.

Then after that I'm going to work on a huge text to speech project if I can get ahold of a TTS programmer. I know one but he hasn't been online unfortunately. with the TTS I can make my own audiobooks without paying amazon a bajillion dollars only for the books to get pirated in two seconds. So that'll be cool.

so that's my plan for like the next 6 months to a year. happy 2020. thanks for sticking with me. if you've read my books and not left feedback, please do. Every single feedback is insanely helpful. Thanks so much. Stick together. Don't get divided over stupid stuff. Peace.

Thanksgiving Weekend Sunday Status

Hey buddies! Looks like we've given away around 30+ books so far, which isn't bad by any measure. I also finished writing book #15, which I changed to book #14 so I didn't confuse people. It makes sense anyway after I thought about it more because #14 actually had the bookend to the second big storyarc. 13 and 14 should be publishing within the next few days, and I worked my absolute ass off on both of them trying to cram in as much as I could. So 13 is still 13, 15 is 14, and 14 will be 15. I'm starting writing 15 next, then probably 6 months of re-edits like I did this year. I'm not exactly sure how long 15 will take to write, but I'm actually going to try to get it done by Dec 31st, which I might be able to do because I'll be taking some more time off around Christmas/New Years, and if I'm not completely done with it by then, that's when I will be wrapping it up. I actually have several legitimately good arcs drafted for book 15. It's ...

PNW Affliction 1: Recycled - The Retrospective

PNW Affliction 1: Recycled - The Retrospective Alright. This's been a long time coming, and there's probably no real better place to start than at the beginning. Spoilers abound, although this's mostly "behind the story" type stuff. This book isn't actually the beginning of the story by any means. It's the beginning of the main character though, and it's how this whole "universe" got started. Basically I had a dream one night of walking and it getting progressively darker until there was no light left. Just like nearly every single one of my books, this started out with a basic premise. Really no more than a "first act" if you will. I wrote the first act, peppered in with some things that were real, like me having a cat that played with a plastic bag while I tried to sleep. I can't exactly remembered where the premise came from for act two, except that I've always been fascinated by recycling and the recycling logo. ...

Free Thanksgiving Weekend!

Happy Thanksgiving! Books #1, 10, and 12 are free this weekend to celebrate Thanksgiving as well as the release of book #13 and #15 by the end of the weekend. Skipping #14 for now because continuity is overrated. :D If the giveaway does well enough, I'll release a few more for free throughout the weekend, so we'll see. Stay tuned all weekend. Tell your friends please, without word-of-mouth nobody will know about the books if you enjoyed them. Thanks as always. Have a good time with family and then read free books! -Chance
