I haven't updated this blog in a while, but I've still been working on my novels. I did a round of minor revisions to Pandora's Box in June and July, and marked the novel for where I want to add or do major rewrites of scenes. And in August, I wrote the first half of Book 2, thanks to Camp NaNoWriMo.
(On my books page, I've added the cover for Book 2, but I think I will be changing the title, which is currently shown as Ruby Ransome and Prometheus's Flame. As I write the novel, it's taking a slightly different course than I expected, and I think the plot elements that go along with the "Prometheus's Flame" bit will have to be shifted back to Book 3. So for now, I am simply calling the novel Book 2.)
The plan for NaNoWriMo next month is to finish Book 2 -- I have just over 50k right now, and I feel like I'm halfway-ish, so hopefully I'll be able to put in another 50k during November. But if not, I am planning on writing some of the scenes I am adding to the first book and using those as word count in November.
And in the meantime, I have a little additional research and planning to do!
