I thought I was finished adding scenes to the Dark Academia book. As it turns out, I am not *sigh* I was about halfway through the “touching up” edit when the book made it known that I needed to add scenes, and they are not lengthy scenes as if I’m adding new chapters. They are shorter scenes. I took to the notebook and have already written out seven scenes, with a few more that need to be written.

I was so convinced I was on the last round of edits for this book, but sometimes this happens. For me, this is not common as I’ve been writing so long I have a good feel for when I’m nearing completion and the book is almost reading for the editor/submission. I was quite surprised by the additional scenes! So, with this book, I think it’s best I don’t say, “I’m on the last round!”.

For the other books I’m working on: Shards is nearly done and I expect to have that editor-ready by the end of the year, and the same goes for The Scrying House. Tuck 4 is still in-progress, and while I’m disappointed it’s slowed down once again, I am happy that the words are still coming (in paragraphs and sentences some days, but still coming) and haven’t stopped completely. I recently wrote another chapter in Sera’s second as well.

So, there is forward movement but not as much as I’d hoped at this point in the year, but that’s okay. The words flow how they want to flow.
