Making a Little More Progress...

 After my last post, I was sick for three weeks.  I was hoping to have my manuscript proofread throughout April, but that didn't happen.  I did have a few days that I was lucid enough to do some editing, but that wasn't until the end of April.

I have made some progress since the beginning of May, but I'm still a long way from where I would like to be.

WRITING PROGRESS:

  • I did add a new chapter one to the book introducing the female lead that becomes "The Shepherdess Princess."
  • I have an outline of new additions to the story that I will be adding at a later date.  I am reworking the storyline a bit more while keeping with the intended plot.
  • There are several chapters I have decided to throw out that no longer help to move the plot along.  I am still in the process of getting rid of them because I take them out as I am proofreading the manuscript.  I do make note of them to be deleted as I progress in the editing process.
  • I am about 1/3 of the way done editing the manuscript.  I don't know how many chapters I've gone through because I will be adding 4 or 5 new chapters to the story soon that go near the beginning that will help with character development.
  • I have thought up a new ending because the one I currently have is pretty graphic.  I felt like it needed toned down a bit.
Right now, I am just using my writing as a way to vent.  It's just for fun at the moment.
