Novel Writing Update #3

Hey all,

Thought I’d write an update on my writing process, and how writing Crescent Regent is going… it’s going pretty well. I have finished the latest draft 2018 and on chapter 4 of the rewrite. A lot has changed since my last update in April, my apologies, but I have learned a lot in all of that time.

First, I have joined a Writer’s Group with two other writers about a year ago. We are celebrating our one-year anniversary this coming Sunday. It’s been a crazy year, and I think this is the perfect time to discuss with all of you where my novel currently stands.

My novel has been through hell and back, but it’s stronger than ever. A complete draft has been dissected by my peers and loads of advice have been dished out. I can never thank my Writing Group enough for their “generous support”… they have been incredibly patient with me and my writing flaws.

The latest draft is the toughest challenge yet, but this time, I’m really excited about the changes I’m implementing: new names for the same characters, cutting out half the novel, and replacing it with extended backstory to cover essential context I was lacking for the main protagonist.

SO MUCH TO DO!

I’ll write another post in the near future about how I’m no good at writing fight scenes. It’s a topic I wish to discuss, and the steps I’m taking to improve them.

Thanks for checking up on me. I really appreciate it! Happy Writing!
