The Book-5 targeted edit is COMPLETE.
It’s 13K shorter at 112K total. I now turn to Trellis House, the novella that’ll be published with it.
Trellis House (31K currently) is kind of a bonus, but it also serves to bridge the gap between Books 4/5 and Book-6.
Looking at the series as a whole, Book-6 is the build-up to the series’ climax. Next, I’ll publish Book-4, the midpoint.
Be everwell.

ONE chapter left to edit in Book-5.
The editing project begun on January 1st draws to a close. My methods are tedious, but only cost me time, which I have (until I don’t, of course).
Too, done isn’t exactly Done. I will next perform a targeted edit on the novella, Trellis House, which is much shorter.
That, though, is later. First, there’s anticipating the end, and finishing.
Be everwell.

TWO chapters left to edit in Book-5.
A chapter was completed because I planned ahead…
The march is done (for now).
It was an experience that will influence me in the future. When we experience life we value it more, and are more willing to fight for it.
As Riparia notes in Book-1, you can’t replace the past, you have to build a better tomorrow, and that requires vision.
Be everwell.

You’re at a cocktail party, are introduced to one of the guests. He asks, “What do you do?”“I’m a writer,” you respond.“Oh. What do you write?”At that moment, does your stomach churn with anxi…
THREE chapters left to edit in Book-5.
I’m close, but will lose a block of time today at the No Kings march downtown.
To aid my writing self, I made certain I’d have a fairly short chapter to work on tomorrow, and then got a head start on it last night.
Even if I fall behind today, that’s okay. Democracy comes first. If it didn’t for all of us, there would’t be a democracy.
Be everwell.

Four chapters left to edit in Book-5.
Thank goodness for reading a book on the side while I’m performing a targeted edit.
Here’s the thing about targeted editing. You jump randomly around chapters. I may know the story, but there’s no sense of advancement because that’s the idea.
It’s great for focusing, but you never feel like a reader. You want that, but it can wear on you.
Be everwell.

It was a bit of a mission, but I've now scheduled all the missingEpisodes of "The Cleansing" for Ko-Fi supporters.
They will release between now and 6th April on early-access and bring Ko-Fi in line with Patreon.
The Full update is below
And now it's really late and I need meds and food before I can sleep. So I'd best do that.
