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!
