So I've given the first book of the new series its first editing pass. Apparently, when I called it a 'rough draft', I was serious about the 'rough' part.
Blurred a bit because spoilers |
But that's good! I'm happy with the current shape of it. I do my editing on paper, so that means all my edits have to be manually done in the Word version, which will take a while, but things are absolutely going in the right direction. I've spotted some good stuff for every character, and a few things I can really, as they say, 'lean into'.
Regrettably, my D&D group hasn't met in ages, because the universe is conspiring against us. And in a curious development, a friend of mine is looking at getting into DMing D&D games on a paid basis, which is apparently a thing. I had no idea this was a real thing. But it makes perfect sense for people who want to play but don't have enough/any people in their area to sit down with. Another friend and I have spent a few hours doing a test run with him, and there has been a lot of hilarity while we fumble with the online systems and occasionally beat up a monster or two. More on this later, I think.
The weather here in the compound is decidedly un-July, which makes sense considering that every month this year has not been following its normal trend. I'm sure if we do nothing it'll all be right as rain in no time.
