Book 2 Done...More or Less

As far as I know, the main edits and proofreading are complete for the second book. At long last! I've also updated the website with new pictures and completed my main edits to the fourth book as well. Tomorrow, I plan to work on my major revisions to book three (The World of Whispering Strife). I've long dreaded having to work on this book again because of how challenging it will be to edit. Aside from the fact that I need to add two new arcs for side characters (meaning five or six new chapters), a lot of the narration needs to be completely altered. What's worse is I have yet to create a proper outline because my notes are disorganized. It's going to be a long day.

Evolution

A lot has happened since I last posted an update. Though I've still gotten little feedback on Omen of the Ancient, Plight of the Gods is nearly done with its extensive edits. I've added a brand new arc with new characters. There are other new chapters near the end of the book as well, bringing it to over 100k words. These new chapters have also been through the proofreading process. All that is left is one more chapter that I am halfway done completing. I've also made a large group of new pictures for the series, as well as possible back covers for the printed versions of the books.

I'm tempted to release the first two books before I finish everything else. I might even release the Dream Dweller Archive early with the first two books, which would give readers something else to look at while I perfect the Planet of Whispering Strife. The main obstacle is marketing, followed by figuring out the best way to obtain ISBN's. I'm still hoping to find more beta readers for the first book so that there's a bigger chance of it succeeding, but the main focus has been writing.
