Editing Update + Check In.

Hey everyone! Hope you all had a good Christmas Break and New Years! It's been crazy for me! Not just because of Holidays, either. The last three weeks have been busy, as I've been working on the edits for book 1 Hurrah!

So far its been going well, with Arc 1 (before planetfall) finished and part of Arc 2 done already.

That said, Its going slower than I expected. Arc 1 was mostly grammar and structure overhauls. Rewording a few things, trimming others down. Overall its a lot cleaner and than before, hurrah!

To show you a bit of how things are going, I've updated the Half of Arc 1 with the finished, Edited Chapters on Royal Road! Hurrah! This includes the first "Alpha Log" at the end of Lesson 5!

As of right now, I'm ONLY updating chapters on Royal Road. Why? This way you guys can see the progress as I work, and I don't have to worry about updating 5 sites on the chance I have to go back and edit something again after the fact. Once the project is totally finished, I'll be able to go back and edit everything all in one go.

If you want to see it, I'll leave a link below. Go take a look and tell me what you think and how its progressing so far.

Book 1 - Lesson 5: "Do What You Must; Ask Forgiveness Later."

Arc 2 is proving to be a bit more difficult, and there's some major changes in the works. Nothing that would count as a rewrite, instead its mostly some reshuffling and pacing. I've taken a lot of the reader's feedback into consideration and trimmed down some of the fluff, while streamlined the issues with the shifts in perspective some.

We're still seeing events from multiple viewpoints. As I said before, this isn't JUST Alpha's story, but the story of the people around him and how he affect them. but you're less likely to get narrative whiplash this time around.

That's mostly where I'm at now. That said, I'm thinking of doing these updates more frequently, maybe twice a week on Tuesdays and Fridays. This would not only give you all better look at the process, but keep my head in the game as well.

I'm currently not sure if I'll be posting these "blogs" on all the sites or just Patreon though, so If you want to be kept up to date, head over to the patreon and join as a Free Member!

As a reminder, Patreon paid membership is still currently Frozen, so paid members don't end up getting charged while I work on this project.
