Hi everybody!

It’s been a while but here’s a new video with the plotting of a new book and a brand new series!

But you’ll have to wait for any more news about this book. I’ve let the typing exercises rest a bit, so I’m back to a much slower speed. In other news… Book 4 in my Sweet Historical Romance Novelette series is done!

Look out for some revision snippets in my near future vlogs. I’ll have a post up at some stage about this book, the cover and the blurb as well.

I think that’s it from me today.

Happy writing!

Hi everybody

Another writing vlog with typing practice, sprinting and article writing for two days.

Enjoy!

Hi everybody!

It’s nice to follow my routine. It’s not rigid but I like the consistency.

My typing exercises are paying off. Slowly my w.p.m is climbing to an average of 70w.p.m. Not too shabby.

Book 4 of my series only received 1 block of sprints today. So the word-count climbed with a mere 600 words.

I finished 2 articles and send it off to the editor which I’m really happy with.

Tomorrow I want to do some more research for work, plan and write the work. I think that’s it from me today.

Happy writing!

Hi everybody!

Today’s documenting is for two days. I’m proud of the sprints I did on Book 4 of my series.

Today I hit 13k words. I’m aiming for a minimum of 15k words for novelettes. But I do get to 20k words such as what happened to Book 3, Zara and William. It’s not a crises. That’s when the story finished, right? I also included you in a bit of my normal days.

You’ll see me create some marketing images as well as some posts for Instagram. I updated my production document as well.

Lastly I included you in my research and planning process for a non-fiction article due for submission by the weekend. There’s a bit of work to be done but I have at least 2 more days for that. I think that’s it from me today.

Look out for my TBR list for at least the next 2 months. I could finish the books faster but life is a bit unpredictable so I’ll take it a day at a time.

Happy writing!

Hi everybody!

I’m done with self-editing today! Yay!

I’ve also done the 1st round of formatting. I’ll do a 2nd round of formatting before this book gets published.

I’ve also send this book off to my Alpha and almost all my Beta readers. I must admit, the interaction with my beta readers is the highlight of the editing process for me. Maybe that’s what I should remember when I start editing on Book 4!

[If you would like to BETA read for me, please look in my LinkTree for the form to complete.]

That’s it from me today!

Hi there!

Today I continued my self-editing journey of Book 3 in my Sweet Historical Romance Novelette series.

This step is where I listen to the story in audio form. I first used the Text-to-Speech app on the iPad. But moved over to Natural Readers online when the app wouldn’t allow me to paste the last edition of my text.

Then I also worked through an hour of sprints on book 4 in this series.

By the way, did you see the book cover for Zara & William? My newsletter subscribers were the first to see it. I’ll be getting the cover into the universe this week. Stay tuned!

That’s it from me today.

Hi there!

Today I finished transferring the edits to the electronic draft. Yay! Next up, the listen through. I use Natural Readers instead of narrating it myself. The robot voice forces me to actually LISTEN!

That’s it for today.

See you tomorrow!

Hi there!

I finally finished reading through this draft. I hope to edit the electronic format tomorrow and then listen to the draft again. Almost there!

See you tomorrow!

Hi everybody!

Today I’m continuing the journey of self-editing the 3rd book in my Sweet Historical Romance Novelette series.

This is the 4th last step in my editing process before I will publish it. What’s the other three steps left? – Transferring the changes to the electronic draft, – reading it out loud or listening to it through Natural Readers and then – BETA reads.

And then I’ll see you tomorrow with another vlog!
