Editing Almost Over!

As the title implies, my editing is almost over! I have (hopefully) have this one last revision to work on before Vol. 1 Am I Real? is a finished manuscript. Of course, I already uploaded the file to Amazon, but I'm editing still. Oh yeah, and later on, when I'm done with this, I'll have surprise for you guys. | )

So far, I had to add Sheldon's hallucinated color shifts, and I thought it'd be a right pain, but it wasn't that much of a murder. Now I have to make him mention it, but that's not so hard. Plus some minor changes. I've been rather busy of the late, so I'm yielding things at a slower rate than normal. Bit irritating, really. But I'm working on this very intricate picture, and it's taking forever. Aah...

Later.

Losing Steam

I've gotta say I'm having trouble focusing on this revision stuff. I recently added over 750 words to the second novel in the trilogy, and I keep thinking about writing this scene I've been wanting to write for months. Not only that, but I find it easier to get distracted. Grr...

Besides, I have to comb through this story I've read about five times and drop in symptoms I forgot to give Sheldon. Curses... Well, I haven't got much I longer, so I'd better get back to it.

Progress in my Novel So Far

Well, I oughta stop mucking around with stuff I don't like and recipes and get down to business.

Here's a summary of my fantasy psychodrama novel, Vol. 1: Am I Real?, from my trilogy, Sanitize:

The story begins. A powerful substance sends the Oregon town, Sage, into frozen time. Holed away in the home of a learned (and no less paranormal) Irish family, eight year-old Sheldon Lamar receives a distress call from his baby sister, but after saving her, she's almost immediately kidnapped.

Determined to save her, Sheldon joins with his pint-sized, less than lion-hearted friend and the children of the Irish Greenwich family to save her from Shoadow, master of black void. However, Sheldon's lost sister isn't the only problem; it's not the easiest thing, going on a dangerous trip through a mystic Woodland and fighting monster hybrids, when your own mind is turning against you.

Be a part of the trilogy in which a young boy battles two forces: dark inter-dimensional forces and early-onset schizophrenia. But which is more formidable?


It's three parts and 24 chapters. So far, I've done five revisions in preparation for that big Amazon contest. Plus, I have a website devoted to Sanitize, and I can't wait to put it up! But it'll be some time before the website is ready, so stay tuned!

Later.
