After taking a week away off from working on the new e-novel in order to recharge the ol' batteries, I'm just about ready to start Phase 2 of work on Arizona State Guard: Target Terror!
Tomorrow night, I will be editing and tweaking (a highly technical term used by writers) the new e-novel. This phase always finds me:
1) fixing typos, grammatical errors, and formatting errors.
2) fixing any timing or continuity issues.
3) making some minor (and some major) changes.
4) wondering if the story has evolved beyond my initial intent.
It can be fun and frustrating, but it will make the story better, stronger, and fast...(Oops! Started to fall into a Six Million Dollar Man opening monologue!) Let's just say that the story becomes more than it was before!

Wow! April must have been tough on everyone. Oh, yeah...Tax Season. Well, here's hoping May and the latter months turn out better. Sales flatlined last month but every so often I have a month like that. Hope for an uptick during May and will have a sharp uptick in June with the release of Arizona State Guard: Target Terror!
In the mean time, please share with your friends:
