First Draft is almost finished
Hello my fellow rock lovers and Melton friends!
Book 2 is getting exciting! The chapters are flowing, characters are developing, and new characters are making their debut. I've just finished Chapter 11 and Chapter 12 is well underway. I anticipate about 16 chapters for Book 2. However, if anything is like Book 1 a few more chapters may pop up and perhaps a few chapters will combine. Once this rough draft is finished, I put myself through a ruthless editorial process. The page bleeds, no doubt, but the characters and I grow closer and the stories of rocks become more vibrant. I think the holiday season brings even more energy to my writing process.
I hope this email finds you filled with the holiday spirit and love of family and friends. The holidays are in full swing for this author and her family. Our Christmas tree is up, tunes of Michael Buble, Bing Crosby, and Lauren Daigle are filling the air, and we are drinking loads of hot chocolate.
Deck your halls and feel the joy of the season.
ROCK ON!
Dr. JAK
