It’s been three months since my previous status report about the making of my second novel. Reading back on that previous update, I see how I said that I aim to make these updates more frequent as time comes along, but it’s hard to really provide anything substantiating to say when progress these days continues to move ever so slowly.

The Future of Novelists: Humans vs. Robots?
Today is one of those cases where I had planned to write about something else, but then something caught my attention that made me realize, I need to write about this. As far as we’re concerned, all novelists are human. They may hail from different countries, be of different races, genders and sexual orientations, and come from different experiences in their lives; but other than these factors, all novelists are human. But as far as the future of the profession goes, is it possible that future novelists may be comprised of not only humans but also (and I can’t believe I’m saying this) robots?

On the Hustle to Get Work Done (Second Novel Status Report #4)
With the fact that it’s not only a new year but also the year of the release, I figured it’s time to release another status report on my second novel. I can imagine these to appear much more frequent now than before, as we get closer and closer to the book’s release.

Fresh Eyes, Cover Designs, Continual Inspiration, and Thinking Ahead (Second Novel Status Report #3)
Another four months has passed since I last gave a full-on update about the making of my second novel. Therefore, I believe that’s just enough time for me to write up a new one. As I look back on the progress on the novel between the previous update and now, I realize now that a lot has happened, and as you can imagine, I really like that.
From Writing to Editing (Second Novel Status Report #2)
It’s been four months since I made the first update regarding progress on my second novel. Since then I’ve mentioned it briefly here and there, without going too in-depth on the process. However, I feel that enough time has passed now that I found it appropriate to write up another update. Besides, since my first update, I’ve transitioned to a new stage in the process.
A little over two weeks ago, I finished the rough draft of the second novel. It took a little over six months to write it (which is a shorter period of time than when I wrote A Moment’s Worth), and maybe the cool thing about it is it’s longer as well. Since then, I’ve begun the editing process. At the moment, I’m going through it myself and making edits. I already knew ahead of time that there would be things I would want to change in the manuscript, and so now I’m taking the time to do so.

Writing About the Future (Second Novel Status Report #1)
At the time I established this blog, I guess you can say that it was at good timing. I was already in the editing stage for A Moment’s Worth and I found myself talking about various concepts related to the novel, leading up to its release. For my second novel though, I find myself blogging not during a sliver of its making, but rather the whole way through; and with that, I’ve been wondering for a while as to when would be the wisest time to say anything about it. It’s been three months since I started writing my second novel, and with that, I decided to go ahead and say something in particular about it.
I’ve been vague on details to many people regarding what it’s about conceptually. What I have been explicit about though is the fact that my second novel takes place in the future. Continue reading “Writing About the Future (Second Novel Status Report #1)”
