I feel like I should keep you posted on my progress with the final book. No spoilers, don’t worry. I had a breakthrough last week, and realised a mistake I was making, where a character appeared at the wrong point in the book. So I’ve pulled that character out, and I’m now going through and changing the things that are affected by that. Then I have to add that character in the new location of the story. Actually, it’s kind of cool because it means I can use some scenes I wrote years ago, which I had cut because they didn’t work, so.… yay!
I am hopeful that once I go through and smooth over these sections that are affected by the change I will be able to push through to the end smoothly, kind of like the way Gatekeeper’s Deception came together. I am chugging away at it and getting closer, and I hope, I hope, I hope that you understand how important it is to me to get it right, to close all the gaps, to tie up all the loose ends and make it a supremely satisfying ending. I’m also conscious of the time, in that I will be finished podcasting GD in early June. Even if I finish writing the final book by then it will still need editing and revisions, so… Acch! Pressure.
Oh! and I’m going to be a guest on a couple of different podcasts coming up, so stay tuned for details on that.
