The second draft of my next book is roughly 8 chapters away from being finished. I can almost feel the second breath kicking in. I swear it doesn't have as many characters as the screenshot makes you believe.
A word count breakdown shows 472 pages, 157,158 words, and character totals of 838,135 with 684,693 excluding spaces.

Final proof-reading of the manuscript before uploading it for print. Preparing a gorgeous, illustrated paperback for you. Epub will be available as well. Scheduled for this summer. Cannot wait for you to read this one. 💙📚

Got exactly this much of the book cover to tease you with. Will finish it this month and then some proper promotion will begin once the assets are ready. #booksky 💙📚

Addressing the comments from my editor, and this one made my chuckle 😅 This isn't a horror story, I swear.
An editorial comment to one of my novels that says: I love how this story can literally get really heartwarming from here or into absolute horror territory if you don't know it's genre.

Just finished the first draft of my short story! 🎉 Will have some rest from it and then refine it by the end of the year.

Most of the effort is hidden from you so all you could focus is the end value. Here, for instance, is what makes up my logo.

Sometimes a small candle is enough to bring light to the darkest of places.
A quote that says "The candlelight made her face look yellow, putting gold in the blacks of her hair that fused with the dark corridor behind her as if she grew out of the place".

Good prose reads like poetry. Here's an excerpt from one of my books.
Around them, and as far as one could see, the crystals rose high off the ground like frozen waves of once vehement sea, their crests as sharp as blades.
