After year-end reviews and upcoming goals, what am I actually doing these days? I’ve resumed writing Season Three of The Drop. It’s going very well and the story is moving right along. By the end of this week I should be approximately half-done with the draft. The storylines are taking some interesting turns and even though the contest in the world of the book is a marathon, I try to remember to make it have the urgency of a sprint. At the current writing pace, followed by editing and proofreading, maybe I can have the book out by March. In other news, on New Year’s Day I completed the formatting of First Step. It takes a bit of labor to do so, let me just say. I’m sure the professionals have tools that are easier to use and I wish I had those. Instead, I’m at the mercy of MS Word, but I’ll say that once I figured out how to do page numbering and footers, it came out looking great. Some of the things that should be easiest turn out to be the most difficult, of course. Anyway, that book is ready to publish other than having a cover. I should know by next week regarding the timing of getting a cover made. There’s the update - not much else to report beyond that right now. Stay tuned for more in the coming weeks.
