Revisions?

I had a successful weekend creatively. I am in the midst of editing “Yellow Man” and got a good chunk done, wittling away. My usual style of writing is that I tend to edit as I go, and I tend to write as I go, only having the idea of the story (beginning middle and end.) With “Yellow Man” I wrote an outline, listed my characters and wrote little interviews for thm so I had a good sense of my characters before I even started. It was good timing, since I had just published Emergence Ascended and was ready for a new project when I realized it was NaNoWriMo season and I had accidently prepared for it. I completed NaNoWriMo with it! Since I abandoned my typical writing style by not editing as I go and essentially puking out my story at a breakneck speed, there is a lot of work that needs to be done to get it ready to publish. I made progress on it this weekend so that makes me happy.

I also recorded two more chapters of Emergence Collective for the Audible project.  I am still on the fence (actually starting lean far to the otherside of it) about whether to revise and republish. When I wrote it I did not do some things that I am doing now, and it shows. I have learned a lot since then and I cringe at my writing from then to now. I think I can make the story a little better. However, as I stand now, Chapter four and five are recorded. (But I am now thinking about the revision and then I would need to record the revised version again) Floundering…..

Some Interesting news, I may be doing another interview for a podcast highlighting authors. The Podcast is new and would be debuing in February this year Its called “Once upon a Write.” Wish me luck!

One thought on “Revisions?

  1. I wish you luck. One always feels it’s not perfect and after it’s published there are things you’d do differently. But, perhaps just show how you’ve grown in your new work. Or ignore me. What do I know anyway? ☺️. You are doing things and that’s great.
