Writing

As planned, I’ve completed the third part of book two and started revising the fourth while adding a few chapters in. The fourth part is actually the one that needs the most help, so heavier revisions might take a bit longer but a bit of determination and focus should assist (force) me to keep the editing time inside a month.

I’ve started lining up the copyedit (second to last step before publishing) for mid-2026 so releasing just after that sounds realistic. No date yet but I’m finally seeing the line to completion for this one and it’s pretty exciting!

Life

I managed to play and complete Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 this month and anyone who enjoys turn-based RPGs, solid stories, great character and/or excellent soundtracks NEEDS to play that. A French JRPG that’s a solid contender for Game of the Year. Didn’t have that on the bingo card. Strongly recommended.

I’ve also kickstarted my reading with another local author’s book and been handed a few more sci-fi recommendations so I’ll have to give the kindle a bit more love (and gather writing style tips from others while I’m at it!)
