New book is underway. First page is done and I’m working on the second.
This will be the second book of the new series, my fourteenth book as an adult author, my sixteenth book as a published author, and my twenty-third book in total. Still takes me pretty much the same amount of work as when I started. I’m a much better writer now than I was back then, but all the time and effort I save on more effective ways of doing things I spend on trying to make the book better.
Target date for completing the first draft is mid-June. I’m not confident that I’ll make it, but we’ll see.
Congrats on all your progress! I would think the first page would be the hardest to write? (Barring rewrites.)
