<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSo, going back to the Betas, we have a handful of active, awesome kittens for TRACE. So far, we’ve had some good feedback. A lot of constructive critiquing that will make the story better, which I love. I don’t get bent out of shape about it. I was an art major in college and critiquing was harsh in photography courses, and you learned to take the hits. I once took photos of three feed silos and got told the perspective I took them in made them look like stunted dicks. So… yeah.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I have the cover reveal for TRACE scheduled with Xpresso Tours on August 9. The cover is smexy AF. I know I’m biased, but I’m also an expert in my field. That is a joke, I’m merely advanced in my knowledge. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
In other news, having buttoned up TRACE and sent him off to the girls, I’ve been bored as all get out. I promised my husband I would take a month off of writing. I have two Cons coming up and travel over a three-week period but I’ve also been writing straight through since January. Time off is difficult, to say the least. So, I started brainstorming JONAH. I have the first ten chapters outlined, a ton of notes written out and a developed plot sketch. I’m a little blurry on the only character that might have the story hinging on him, JONAH. That will come.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
JONAH is planned to come out in November though. I will start writing his story next.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But fear not, I have something coming out in between the two books. TPTB bundle you’ve been waiting for! Yes, The Powers That Be will be bundled and coming out October 11. I have the cover already created by the incomparable, Marcos Nogueira, who does almost all my artwork. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s WIP Wednesday again, and I’ve moved on to the printed manuscript of TRACE. This is what I read while the Betas are reading the digital document and making comments. I red mark my book, pick out errors and make notes where I need to build up areas. I also make notes where teasers and […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[44,43,35,3],"tags":[33,5],"class_list":["post-442","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-somnolence","category-trace","category-wip-wednesday","category-writing","tag-wip-wednesday","tag-writing"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/theskywriteshere.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/442","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/theskywriteshere.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/theskywriteshere.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theskywriteshere.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theskywriteshere.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=442"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/theskywriteshere.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/442\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":455,"href":"https:\/\/theskywriteshere.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/442\/revisions\/455"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/theskywriteshere.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=442"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theskywriteshere.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=442"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theskywriteshere.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=442"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
