It's drafted! Book five, The Light Between, is finally drafted!

If I had more energy, I'd go run about like a lunatic yelling, "Eeeeeee!"

Other than one lunch and errands run on Wednesday, this whole week Monday until now morning to night was dedicated to finishing it before the New Year hit. Omg! Made it! With one day to spare!! I couldn't sleep at all last night due to brain being stuck in high gear on all the details and planning out the final set of scenes completed today. So I may be somewhat loopy at the moment. :)

Next up is to go back to the start with the editing toolkit to see how much I messed up the prose and grammar. And to add in descriptions or any other things that come to mind which will better 'frame' the book as a whole. That done, I'll send the first chunk to a friend who has promised to be the initial proofreader in exchange for cookies. After that, can start posting here! Which will of course trigger the ancient mental debate on how to post it: in six (or seven?) parts or chapter by chapter. I'll probably waffle back and forth only to end up doing the same way it's been done so far though.

Also will likely be updates soon to Book Four (Light and Shadow) here on the site with the latest edits/corrections. I know some of the things Kimmie caught their last go-round haven't made it to here yet, so need to do that. Thanks again Kimmie!

And if you're reading this and haven't read the saga, and if you like modern fantasy which spans the gauntlet from serious to silly and realism to sheer myth, and want an epic which strives to retell the lore of Heaven's angels (and a whole lot more!)...go click on Book One, Into The Light, and enjoy the ride!

I'll try to make it easy: Into The Light

Thanks also again to everyone who's support has kept me going on this with all the positive comments and reinforcements. Without it all I doubt I'd have made it this far. I hope you all will enjoy the new upcoming installment!

Ah, good, I am sure I will have nothing to do and everything will be perfect this go round ^_~

Oh wait ... cookies, what kind of cookies?

Cookies!

The customary bribe has traditionally been a tin of 'Godiva Chocolatier Assorted Chocolate Biscuits'...

I may send them some this week in advance, they caught the current round of Covid a couple days ago and maybe cookies will help. My spouse just tested positive this morning too unfortunately and is now quarantined. :/

Godiva

Yum, you offer very good bribes.

While cookies never hurt with Covid, hopefully your friend has not lost their sense of taste/smell or affected by Covid which would unfortunately blunt the enjoyment of such a handsome bribe.

I hope your spouse makes a quick and rapid recovery. No New Year's partying unfortunately :(

I thought you were going to

I thought you were going to say that you'd been forced into a multi-week jury trial, and wouldn't be around for a while.


I'll get a life when it's proven and substantiated to be better than what I'm currently experiencing.

Yikes

Oh I do hope that doesn't happen - the amount of work piled on my desk at the office awaiting my return this week is insane as is.

Well, you did say you were

Well, you did say you were drafted, and since there's no active war going on in any of the English speaking (or fluent) countries that I know of, that's all I can come up with.

I tested positive for SARS-CoV-2 on the 28th. Looks like it should be a short run - no fever left today, I had an anti-fever - 98.3 (it's actually not that unreasonable for my temperature to drop to as low as 96 sometimes. )

Looking forward to the next/last round!

Glad you're improving, but sorry to hear you caught the crud too. :/ Hope you feel even better tomorrow! And that the long-term effects are kept absolutely minimal if any.

Updates

Got the updates for Book 4 'Light and Shadow' posted today. Not remembering exactly where all the changes were made meant the whole thing had to be recopied and formatted anew for the site. Hopefully in the re-cut-n-paste from Scrivener I caught all the places needing italics properly. :)

So, you mean I need to go

So, you mean I need to go back through and re-read #4, so I can catch up on the retcons? :)

Nahh

lol, there weren't any retcons. Just fixed typos/abused homonyms and the smoothing out of some otherwise (embarrassingly) repetitive phrasing.

Though if you -want- an excuse to go reread #4, who am I to deny that? ;)

Have I _ever_ needed an

Jordan (aka Aradia, etc.) is (almost) back! Hooray! Way to go, Erisian!
