I have been working on my writing formula for a while now, the better part of five years. By doing this I have learned a lot of talents and skills for writing. So needless to say my toolbox is pretty nicely filled at this point. However, I have a set of goals I want to meet as a writer too. Here is what I hope to be able to achieve and my roadmap.

I really want to be able to achieve this because I have so many ideas and so little time. I can write about 1000 to 1500 words per hour. And can edit around 2000 to 3000 words an hour (with rewriting). A portion of an act is normally around 10,000 words. And as for typesetting… ug… the worst part of self publishing.

So we are doing this with editing Blue Ash Crisis right now. I am doing the final edits and hoping to build up this schedule and then press out An End To All You Know like this. That way I can get to Forever Kingdom before the end of October. I might be late for summer release but I wont be late for my Winter release. A lot of life things happen ya know… anyways that is my roadmap.
