Well, I just surpassed 120k words in the 2nd draft of my sequel, Galenthian’s Stone. As I’m contemplating the outline for the final book in the trilogy, I’m realizing it will likely be too long for an Amazon hardback. That means I must go through another printer to get the job done. I’m considering Book Vault. Hopefully it works out because not having a hardback option for book 3 will suck.

On average, I’ve been adding 10k words per month to my 2nd draft. At this pace, I think I’ll be ready for a 3rd pass in August with a final wordcount of 140k. That’s way more than I suspected! I’m still on schedule to submit my book to my editor in October or November, so the March 2027 release date remains in place for now. If anything changes, I’ll let you all know.

That’s all I have for now. Until next time…
