D-Twins Rebooted Series Update

I haven’t touched the D-Twins series at all this year and we’re now in April! I feel like it’s best if I focus on the other books first. I probably won’t get everything done this year. The challenge is looking a bit too hard…

Christian Children’s Book Series Update

I did the third draft of the Christian books. I had plans to do all five books in two weeks, but after finishing the second book, I had a big problem: my eyes. I had double vision! I went to the eye hospital and got checked. Thank God my eyes are okay, but it was a scary experience. What caused my problem? I don’t know but it might have been eye strain.

When I edited the first two Christian books, I was focused on the computer screen for long periods of time. I was so busy trying to meet my editing deadline that I forgot to take care of my eye health. When I edit the next three books, I’ll set reminders to take regular breaks for my eyes. My brain will appreciate the breaks, too.

Children’s Non-fiction Creative Writing Book Update

I made changes to the paperback version. Now there are pictures above each chapter’s heading. I chose black and white pictures. Why? Because it’ll keep the paperback’s price down so it’s more affordable. There are lots of beautiful colourful pictures out there, but colourful pages increase the book’s production cost and the price readers pay.

I still haven’t got the book cover done yet. I have two different cover designers in mind, but I’m not sure which one to choose…

I hope that my next update will include a free copy of my writing prompt ebook. It’ll be offered to everyone on my mailing list, so don’t go anywhere or you’ll miss out…

Thanks for reading!

Happy Easter! Jesus Christ has risen!

D-Twins Rebooted Series Update

I haven’t touched the D-Twins series at all this year and we’re in March! I need to start the second drafts soon…

Christian Children’s Book Series Update

I finished the second draft of a Christian children’s book series in February. Now I’m wondering if I should focus only on the Christian series and leave the D-Twins reboot until later. What do you think I should do? Email me to let me know.

Children’s Non-fiction Creative Writing Book Update

It’s a creative writing book for young writers. I’ve published one before, but this time I focused on creative writing prompts. I was ready to make beta/ARC copies available to people on my mailing list. Instead, I decided to add more to the book. I planned on writing 100 prompts. Now there are a lot more than that…

The extra prompts mean the book’s release has been delayed, but it’s worth it. I had the chance to add another writing prompt topic. It came to mind last week. I thought, “It’s too late to include that now. What a shame!” A week later, I’ve included it! I’m glad I did!

Now I’m also considering a hardback version of this book. I’ve never released a hardback before! It’ll be so exciting holding it in my hand for the first time. I remember how excited I was holding my first ever paperback. It was the Booger King book. I can’t wait to hold the rebooted version someday…

Thanks for reading!

Speak to you soon!
