Coming up…the May Update

• Waited Revisions
• Waited Cover Design

Summary

Good but slow progress over the month. Most time was spent in my copyediting course, which slowed output. Now that I am on a brief break, I am flying through my tasks.

The big task for the month was completed Waited editing and moving to work on the ebook cover and formatting.

What’s Next?

Focus Areas:

• Waited cover
• Waited formatting
• Waited publishing

The main focus areas will be wrapping up and publishing Waited short story. The copyediting course ends early in the month of June, and I will have 3 weeks of “free time” to work on publishing projects as well as personal projects. 

In Closing

Small steps lead to big change. Will I be able to publish Waited in June? Will I have to delay by one month? 

Let’s see what June brings.

Until next time.
