Hello! I hope everyone is having a good May so far.
This week went well for me. I continued writing and plotting Book 11. I also got a good bit of reading done. Other than that, I got to visit with some family this weekend for Mother’s Day. All in all, it’s been a pretty good week.
I have continued working on Book 11 this week. While I have been writing at least a little each day, most of my work this week has gone toward plotting. Now that I know a bit more about what kinds of things I need to include, I have been working to fill in my outline/timeline in a way that makes sense. I still have a good bit to go there, particularly with regard to connecting the stuff I know early on to the stuff I know happens at the end. Given the way things are shaping up with the draft so far, there are a few plot threads I need to figure out the timing on. I am definitely making progress though, which is nice.
My reading time this week was rather productive. I finished Brandon Sanderson’s The Hero of Ages. With that, I completed the first trilogy of the Mistborn series. Overall, it was pretty interesting, and I’m looking forward to reading the next arc of that series in a bit. After finishing that, I started reading Sanderson’s The Way of Kings, the first book in The Stormlight Archive. Admittedly, I’m only about 200 pages in (out of 1250 pages), and I’ve heard that a lot of this book is generally setup for the books that come after. However, I’m not entirely sure what to make of it just yet. I haven’t really gotten to the point where the POVs start to intersect, so the bigger picture hasn’t really started to come into focus. I’ve also started reading the latest book by Bethany Adams, Maelstrom. It is the ninth book in her The Return of the Elves series. I’m also not too far into that book, but I’m curious to see where the series is going to go.
For this upcoming week, I plan to continue drafting Book 11. I also intend to solidify the outline/timeline a good bit, so I suspect this week might be a little low word-count-wise, but it should be rather beneficial. Other than that, I’ve got the two books I’m currently working on, The Way of Kings and Maelstrom. I get the feeling those should provide plenty of reading material for the week.
That seems to be everything for this update! Thanks for reading!
