Progress Update

As the kids say, it’s been a hot minute since I provided an update on the book I’m currently writing. April 24th, if my quick scan through recent posts is accurate. I wouldn’t say my writing pace is setting the world on fire, but I’ve had a few interruptions along the way with some travel. Right now the book clocks in at 37k words, which means it’s about half complete. I should complete it, if all goes well, by the end of July or early August. I’ll have a few more interruptions and maybe that timeline is a bit optimistic. How is the story itself? I think it’s coming along fine. It’s different from the first book in the series, which I would expect. It also continues some of the storylines from the initial volume, and that’s also how I expect things to go. There’s a small development in the first book that now I’m not sure I want to keep since I haven’t figured out how to deal with it. And that’s why I wanted to write the second book before publishing the first. Heck, I might even write the third. That way I can make sure I’m not developing storylines that might be better on the editing room floor, to use a film reference. Overall, though, I’m happy with the story and the progress I’ve made. Another update in a few weeks, I’m sure.
