Book news. I’ve reached 29,600 words of the 40k to 50k in the second story of the Acinonyx. I messaged the cover artist for this story. There’s not much book news beyond this since I’ve been focused on finishing this one. I’m going to write tonight, although it’s Sunday. I’ll finish Gwen’s eight Vella episode and 1k words to the Acinonyx.

I’ve written 141,800ish words this year towards my 280,000ish goal.

Vella goal: 10,230ish words. I didn’t work on the eight one since I focused on the Acinonyx.

Book news. I’ve finished Crimson Rose’s sixth 20k short story. Self edited it. Gave to the reader. It’ll be sent to the editor this week. The editor finished Sam’s June 10k word release. I’ll go through the editing this week and get it done before I publish it on the second Sunday of June. This is my typical release schedule.

I’ve started part two of the Acinonyx. Added 2,600 words of the 40k to 50k. Since it’s my last long story for the year, I took a break from writing for the week. I hope to return to Gwen’s Vella story, but I’ll have to see if I have the energy. I plan to edit three chapters, or fifteen pages, per day to finish improving Rainy’s third story to finish this year long project.
