Hello! This update feels a long time coming. I haven’t posted much other than reviews, interviews, and promos on my blog of late, so I need to get back in the swing of it.
Word Counts:
Since my last update, I have only managed a further 3.5k words on the EVO Ghost draft. I have, however, written 12k on a new idea. I took a short hiatus from EVO Ghost to have a little break from the EVO world and embark on a new journey. I’m pretty sure I will continue with the new idea at a later date, and I am thinking it might make an interesting novella. I haven’t written anything on EVO Ghost for the past fortnight due to various priorities, but I plan to end the dry stint tonight with some writing sprints.
Book Review Requests:
Another reason for my low word count is the time I have spent requesting book reviews. Researching, emailing requests, and then responding to acceptances has taken up a LOT of time. It’s all part of the fun of indie publishing, right? I was pleasantly surprised with the response I have had, and I’m keeping everything crossed that the reviewers like both EVO Nation and EVO Shift.
ARC Reading:
Yep, I’m reading two ARCs at the moment. I’m fully engrossed in both, and this is not a positive in regards to my WIP, however, it is reading bliss. I’d like to read and review both within two to three weeks, so I’m not looking to let up anytime soon. Oh yeah, I’m also reading Brandon Sanderson’s The Well of Ascension: Mistborn #2. I think I might have to shower, eat, sleep, and read at the same time to get through them all.
Needless to say, opting out of CampNaNo was a wise move for me, but I hope to join in during November. I’m enjoying reading the blogs of those who are participating, and can’t wait to have a crack at it myself. Who knows, I may be starting my new series at the end of the year…

Good luck with your writing sprints 🙂 I have no doubt you will be back to writing 1k words for EVO Ghost in no time 🙂

Thank you. TBH, I don’t feel in a rush with this book. I’m enjoying the break, and I have to keep reminding myself that I only published book 2 on March 1st 🙂

Seems like you have a lot going on right now for you! I hope the writing sprints help you to get back on track with EVO Ghost. But at least you’re writing! That’s the key thing 🙂

Yes, I’m writing, and I’m chilled. The break has been nice, and I’m still in no rush which is a relief. It’s great to test out some new ideas too 🙂

You sound busy! 🙂 Good job getting those reviews, I’ll have to look at that myself at some point 🙂 When I looked before I mostly found websites that don’t accept self-published books, but then I didn’t spend a lot of time searching. I can’t wait to hear more about your new idea!
As for Camp NaNo… It’s a great experience and the people are amazing, but I did not chose a good time for it!!
