Book #5 of the Inheritance of Magic series is going well! I’ve got about two chapters done and should finish the third by around the end of the month.
Still haven’t had the edits back on Book #4. At this point it’s been radio silence for two and a half months, which is longer than usual – in the past I would have been very stressed out by this, since I would have felt that I couldn’t start the next book until I was completely done with the previous one, but since I’m going with my new approach of “whatever, I’ll just keep writing and things will sort themselves out somehow” I’m far more relaxed about it. It’s actually rather nice; I think I’ll keep doing my books this way from now on!
I’m pleased to hear that Book#5 is proceeding well despite the silence surrounding the Edits for Book#4. Are you planning to ‘prod’ the publishers to find out why things are taking longer?
As you said, now that you are familiar with the process the Edits (usually) aren’t as major as when you started writing. It sounds as if your new writing methodology is paying dividends!
You haven’t said anything about Sales figures recently and I’m assuming that they are still good both for the new IoM series and for Alex Verus series too?!
I’m so glad to hear that things aren’t as stressful this time around! I’m happy for you.
I second this.
The reason ist probably that they made a Christmas break too
