The Real Editing Begins

Quick update on my The Hope of Memory trilogy. I've finally finished typing up the whole of the handwritten Rom Tar manuscript. Took a bit longer than I expected. I've had a week or so off from doing anything with the text of either book (Wilders and Rom Tar), because I need breaks from it on occasion, so now the real fun of editing will begin.

I know I mentioned in the past that I liked writing these books out shorthand first, then typing them up etc etc... well, I might not do that for my next work. Just because at this point I wanted to get straight into editing but felt it would be better to have all of Rom Tar typed out first so it's easier to reference and search.

Editing Both at Once?

I've been toying around with the idea of editing both books at once, then releasing them roughly at the same time. I'll probably edit both to a certain extent, but for sure I want to get Wilders done as soon as I can. Definitely tired of sitting on it, because we really begin to get to the meat of the story in the second book. There's a lot of set up in The Distant, which is completely necessary to the full arc of the series.

So I'm working on it. I'll be glad to get it released... it's the first multi-volume thing I've done and it sure was tough.
