osprey_archer | May Writing and June Goals

My goal for May was to work on the line edits for Honeytrap, and I am happy to say that they are almost done. There are a couple of chapters in part two that I changed a lot during this round of edits, so they need one last going over (or rather, I hope they only need one last going over), but on the whole the thing is done, and I’ve already copy-edited part three (which is short) and begun copy-edits on part one.

My goal for June is to finish the line-edits, finish the copy-edits, and make some decisions about the cover. I’ve designed a cover (please ignore the watermark) and I can’t decide whether I should just go with that cover or not.

I would also like to start a new book, but who knows at this point? The pandemic took the stuffing out of my ability to write new material, and now the world is on fire (the headline of this Slate article really says it all: Police Erupt in Violence Nationwide), so… Well, 2020 is just going to be a year.
