Weekly Update 7

Hey everyone!

This has been a pretty exciting time for the book because I have continued to make significant changes to the draft. It hasn’t changed to an entirely new story but it does have more bells and whistles than the draft I gave to my beta readers. I am a little worried I am changing things for the worse, but only time will tell.

The idea of getting the attention of an agent and then eventually getting a real editor is intriguing, terrifying, and thrilling all at once. I suspect I will be done with this draft by this week or the next, until then, I will continue toiling away at the pot until it is good and ready (that metaphor was cringy, sorry).

In my personal life news: I got a new tattoo! This one is special because it is a reference to my favorite author’s first book Name of the Wind and it is a shared tattoo with Ian; a beta reader and close friend. It is the word “BLOODLESS” on my left arm.

I also discovered something wonderful! Because of the recent events surrounding Dungeons and Dragons the name “Pathfinder” has been thrown around a lot on the internet and in my friend group. So, out of curiosity, I picked up a beginner’s box for the sci-fi variant “Starfinder…” and I think I like it more than DND.

This is very shocking to me and my friends but I love the setting and character creation was so easy I wanted to make three more right away. I love the similarities to DND 5e because it makes the game approachable. I haven’t played a game yet, but I want to so badly! We can add it to the list under “Vampire: The Masquerade.”

Well, that is it for this update! Hopefully, by the next update, I will be either done or very close to being done with this draft! Have a great week!
