progress! and more plugging!
Just wrapped up my draft of the KU thing! WEIRD. It took me about 6 weeks to churn out a draft I'm happy with, which feels like flying, but I guess makes more sense when I take into account I wasn't distracted by a full-time job eating up all my hours. I'm at roughly 40k words, which feels a little low for a novel, but I do need to go back and flesh out some parts now that I'm through a version of the whole thing. Originally I was hoping to be done at the end of last month, then at the end of this month, but, well, best laid plans and all that, heh.
It does feel nice to be done with at least a draft of it, though. Now for editing and fleshing it out. I'd like to get it up to 50k words if I can, though it's not a hard commitment for me. Whatever fits the story best. It does need an epilogue still!
On the TEF side, I noticed some formatting things I missed when I was prepping it for upload (grrr) but those are fixed now. It is a relief that the errors I found were my own, though. Feels infinitely better than the random re-formatting FFN would do on its uploads. Man I do not miss that.
(For anyone who's interested btw, it sounds like rb might be doing a readthrough on Twitch this weekend? Not to call anyone out lol BUT THAT SAID preorders for the PpG/RrB zine close in like 3 days! That reminds me I keep meaning to take a pic of the greens page I love to post. Note to self note to self.)
Next goals for myself are to go through and start editing, as well as dig into the marketing side of things (yeek). I really do need to get that mailing list up and running, though. That'll be my baby goal for the next couple of days.
Thanks btw to everyone who's said such nice things about the endeavor so far! I feel so so supported and loved. I really appreciate y'all so much. Thank you and I hope to not disappoint 💗💙💚
