Last week was messy, with a last-minute, all-day babysitting stint for my sister, a meeting for work, and other uncommon situations that leave me looking back and wondering how the time got away from me. I did work 20 minutes a few days out of the week, but I couldn’t even tell you how many days or which ones. I’m going to try to be a lot more intentional about getting at least 20 minutes work in every day this week.
I’ve paused the character interview I’ve been working on for weeks now, which is part of my brainstorming process to work out part of the plot of book #4 in the Pithea series (currently titled “Morano”), to go back and do a little more work on book #3 (“Power”), which is currently waiting for my sisters to read it and give me their feedback. A conversation with my 13-year-old daughter early in the week led me to remember that a vital revision step near the end of the process for me in the past has been reading through the near-final draft out loud, because that helps me notice dialog that is awkward, prose that could use adjusting, or even errors and typos. So that’s what I’m in the middle of right now, and it has already produced some very important adjustments.
While I work on continuing the series, if you’re interested in reading where it all starts, Pithea is available on Amazon in multiple formats (e-book, paperback, and now in hardcover) as well as Kindle Unlimited.
