Still haven’t started drafting Petra Rising yet, but I have a good excuse: I was working on a rewrite.
That’s a good excuse, right?
See, I’d gotten some useful editorial feedback on “The Winter Palace.” The opening needed trimming, and I thought I had a good idea how to do it. And I wanted to get that out of the way before I dove headfirst into the first draft of a new novel. So that’s what I did.
Now “The Winter Palace” is back in the wild, and I can return to Petra Rising. At least one more subplot bears further examination. Then the novel rolls. For realz.
Write Club update: 31 days to a bounce from BuzzyMag, which is going on hiatus, citing medical issues.
Onward.
