I even debated whether to publish a blog post at all. Why publish a blog post that says “Not much to see here, not much happened”? But a lot has happened. And I’ve established the cadence, and until I officially change it, I should stick to it. https://escapewindow.com/blog/2025-08-31-august-in-writing/ Sun, 31 Aug 2025 00:00:00 +0000 https://escapewindow.com/blog/2025-08-31-august-in-writing/ So much to do, so little time I finished nearly all of my draft 6 outline refactor, but progress has slowed to a crawl. I’m going to start writing and address the rest as I go. Ironically, mid-month I was champing at the bit to get to drafting. Now that I believe I’m ready, life has left me distracted and unfocused. Part of this is the fundamental disagreement I have with my developmental editor that strikes at the core of the book. https://escapewindow.com/blog/2025-08-01-july-in-writing/ Fri, 01 Aug 2025 00:00:00 +0000 https://escapewindow.com/blog/2025-08-01-july-in-writing/ Manuscript progress In the first half of the month, I finished refactoring the 1st POV’s outline; I’m pleased with how it turned out. The story will be stronger for it. In the second, I received my developmental edit back! Lots of great feedback here: some that I enjoyed hearing, others that I needed to hear. I took some time absorbing it and responding. We’ll discuss in the coming days. https://escapewindow.com/blog/2025-06-30-june-in-writing/ Mon, 30 Jun 2025 00:00:00 +0000 https://escapewindow.com/blog/2025-06-30-june-in-writing/ Manuscript progress This month I tried to keep my manuscript read-only to avoid diverging too far from my developmental editor’s draft. Instead, I’ve been brainstorming future books. I’m surfacing changes to make in book 1 to set up future books, plus it’s fun to think about future storylines. I’m pretty far behind in transcribing these handwritten pages to my wiki, but I’m catching up slowly. Also, I got beta reader feedback!
