The Question Everyone's Asking...

So the question everyone's been asking is: When is your next book coming out?
Well, here's a quick update!

I AM planning on publishing another book, and: I am just about finished with my first draft! (Yay!) I have been working on it since April or May. I have started a LOT of drafts this year that have failed, but this one (yay, yay, yay) works! It is NOT going to be a sequel to The Hidden Amethyst, but a different story. However, after this book, I am planning on writing a sequel.

As I said, I am on the brink of finishing it, I should today or tomorrow. (Sorry, I don't have any titles to share yet.) However, do not get your hopes up; the book will not be out for probably another year. 

After I finish it, the next big step is rewriting and editing. I have to make sure it all lines up, the story makes sense, I probably will have to delete and add characters, change characters' names, and then rewriting sections that don't work.

And then my parents and I have to go through it, and then there's the formatting process...The good news is: I was planning for my release date to be next August, but I was also originally planning to get the first draft finished by Christmas. The fact that I'm nearly finished now means it should be out sooner!! :) I'll let you know when we have a release date.
