Jeez, another two weeks have passed since I did one of these. Man, time sure flies in the Winter.
That is part of the reason I’ve been so slack with these – the temperature where I live is lucky to get above 10 Centigrade (that would be 50 Fahrenheit for those still on Imperial Measurements) so you can see that it takes a lot of effort for me to do anything.
Anyway, enough dilly-dallying. I have news regarding my sophomore novel, Reality. That would of course be the road map until release! I will not mince words, so below is what I have left to do and when I anticipate to finish said tasks by.
End of Act Two —- FINISHED
This is the longest section of the novel and this chapter is where I make sure any details are all introduced for the climax chapter.
Anticipate Finish – 15 June, 2018
Climax Chapter —- IN PROGRESS
The second last chapter of the novel and where the main storyline comes to a head.
Anticipated finish: 1 July, 2018
Final Chapter
The denouement of Reality. It is not as ambitious a project as the Climax Chapter, but it is still just as complex.
Anticipated Finish: 15 July, 2018
First Editing Pass
This is where I check all my continuity details to ensure the story is up to the stringent expectations I lay down for all my work.
Anticipated Finish: 5 August, 2018
Second Editing Pass
The most detailed of my edits wherein I will check all the grammar and spelling and making sure the timeline of the story is easy to follow. It takes quite a lot of time, but this is perhaps the most important phase after finishing a story, because this is where the polish comes in.
Anticipated Finish: 15 September, 2018
Third Editing Pass
This is a formality for me as all this involves is ensuring I did not miss anything and getting everything ready for release.
Anticipated Finish – 5 October, 2018
Final Steps
This involves everything leading up to the release of Reality, such and ensuring the eBook is to proper standards, while also preparing the cover of the book.
Anticipated Finish: 25 October, 2018
Release Day
What could the last step be? Of course, I chose the release day for a very specific reason that I will explain at a later date.
