Well, I think I’ve done about as much as I can with THE IGNORED PROPHECY until I get some reactions from beta readers. It’s down to 108,500 words, which isn’t bad. There may be a bit more I can cut, but not much.
So, it’s time to start turning my attention to a couple of other things:
- Cover art. Naturally, I’m going to want this to have some similarity to the cover of THE SHAMAN’S CURSE.
I can find similar backgrounds with out much trouble. The trick is going to be coming up with a good central image. - The map. If I’m going to include a map in THE IGNORED PROPHECY (and maybe go back and add it to THE SHAMAN’S CURSE, I probably should get that ready pretty soon.
- Book 3. Poor Book 3 doesn’t have a title yet. This is the book where everything falls apart. I need to settle the main outline of the plot. I’m a modified discovery writer. I don’t do a detailed outline, but I do find that having at least the main turning points as guide posts is helpful. Also, without having a good idea of the plot makes it hard to know where the story starts, and I really want to include an excerpt in THE IGNORED PROPHECY when I publish that in December.
Meanwhile, of course, still working on my new writing space. I got the ceiling painted yesterday. Progress!
Woohoo on the ceiling. That can be hard work.

It was. Took me a full day to recover. Now on to the walls. (I’ll need to get help to deal with the ceiling fan.) I’m just going to be sponging a pearl glaze on most of the walls, so that won’t be too bad.
