Book review/ writing update

I just finished with

DIY Publishing: A step-by-step guide for print and ebook formatting and distribution
by Maggie McVay Lynch 

 

I gave it four out of five stars. 

Here is the review I wrote about it: This was a very interesting read and very informational. Some of it I skimmed since it didn't pertain to me or it was something I wouldn't use. The cover design portion I really liked since I have never helped design a book cover before. I will definitely reference back to some points in this book later on down my publishing career.  

 

 

I am now on to reading Dark Bites by Sherrilyn Kenyon

 This is a collection of short stories so I will also be rereading Hunt the moon by Karen Chance

This is the 5th book in the Cassandra Palmer series I have had to reread the series again since the 6th book came out a few months ago and I didn't remember a lot so I have been rereading these and I can't wait till I get to the one I haven't read yet. 

Writing update

So writing wise I am rewriting/editing the first part of Echoes from a Hollow Soul. For February my plan is to have this story either almost finished or all the way done. It is my main priority. For January I have written about 30,000 words on Ousted. I plan to also keep on writing on this story. I have a feeling this story is going to be a long one. But I could be wrong. Since I don't write by an outline I kind of go where the characters take me.

I do have some scenes mapped out and the ending is pretty much set but the in between well that is where the adventure lies I always say. 

Well I think that is all for the updates that I have right now... on Saturday I think I will try to make a vlog going over the books I read in January and the books I plan to read (possibly) in February. I will also post all the titles here so that if you don't catch it in the video, you can still find it somewhere.
