My detour into Inverted Reversal has turned out to be a good thing. It’s rejuvenated me, reignited the spark.

In truth, what I’m doing I was going to have to do later, but doing it now is providing a break from targeted editing.

It’s also me experimenting with leaving more adverbs in the story. After, I’ll read through it and see what I think. I wish I’d done this long ago.

Be everwell.

#WorldOfOntyre 03

Okay, I took a temporary detour.

I should’ve started the targeted edit on Trellis House yesterday, but I needed a break. Targeted editing is intense and demanding. On the edge of burnout, I needed a change.

So, I’m revising the novella Inverted Reversal, a key backstory for Book-7. I won’t be publishing it, so it’s a more casual task.

Except that the story is heartbreaking.

Be everwell.

Another eclectic day where I refined the Brick Palace blueprint, reacquainted myself with Trellis House, and finished my examination of the issues plaguing Book-7.

I also wrote a lengthy message to myself in my journal about obsessing over adverbs. Yes, some need removed, but they also help a deep POV flow better.

A deep POV narrative is basically dialogue with the reader.

Be everwell.

#WorldOfOntyre 01

Nothing like an eclectic day after months of editing Book-5.

Yesterday, I setup my journal for April and at last made a diagram of the Brick Palace, which I should’ve done five years ago.

Using the diagram, I’m making fixes to the novella before its targeted edit. What a difference that’ll make, instead of the characters seemingly always in the same room.

I’m already happier.

Be everwell.
