Conduit 4. Second (full) Draft. 88, 664 words. Done! Whoot! I wrote the final chapter (3821 words) today. And when I get my hands on Michael’s notes tomorrow, I’ll be able to do a final quick polish before sending the book off to the editor for story (aka development) edit. That stage usually takes about […]

I’m deep in the Conduit 4 second draft as I watch over my Molly Millions (she’s starting to feel better but hasn’t eaten yet) so it’s just short excerpt this week (& the end of Chapter 1). I really only managed to glance at it once before posting, but I hope you enjoy it anyway! […]
Just a drive by blog post as I’m deep in the writing cave (or aerie in my case) and on deadline to get Conduit 4 into the editor for story edit (aka development edit) by October 15. That includes Michael alpha reading for me, which is still totally workable but tight. Molly is at the […]
Reminder that this is a ‘older’ first draft that was actually written before Kandy’s three prequel shorts, so there might be some continuity issues. I think I’m finding and patching most of them as I work through these early sections, but some might slip through until I really dig back into the writing full time. […]
Sorry no newsletter today, and no Misfit 2 excerpt. I’ve pushed hard on writing new words this week, so little else has been done. And now I’m calling it. Conduit 4. First Draft. 80, 034 words. Done!! ✅ I have no idea – other than my pain has been ‘a lot’ this year – why […]
The fog across the water was delightfully thick and the ferry heavy on the horn as it crossed back and forth between islands this morning. I threw on a light jacket for our morning walk and revelled in it almost being fall! Being an October Libra, autumn is my fav time of year. Breakfast smoothies […]
Note: I can’t commit to posting this weekly yet, but you all enjoyed the first chunk so much that – once I get Conduit 4 into second draft stage – I might be able to work on this book a little bit more. No promises! FYI: Any text in brackets just needs to be double […]
[Sorry. On reread, this is a bit of a ramble but I’m posting anyway!] One of the most difficult aspects of creating for me to wrap my head around (STILL!) is that a lot of what makes a book really good – really juicy, or really buttery, or rich, or whatever your preferred descriptor – […]
I added 2500+ words to the first draft of Conduit 4 (current total: 62, 783 words) this morning. (FYI. The first book is Awry). And I’m now sitting in the living room with my laptop and staring at my far too long ‘admin’ to-do list. And really resisting doing any of it. I’ve been tracking […]
