Scouts of the Apocalypse: Zombie War is out to Alpha Readers

Posted on December 20, 2016 by Michell

I set a goal for myself to complete Scouts of the Apocalypse: Zombie War before Christmas. Then I hit a great writing pattern and it looked like it would be done a bit before that. I reset my goal to finish by December 18th. I managed to finish it December 16th. I had a fantastic final writing sprint, knocking over 3,000 words off on Scouts alone. I finished the day with over 5,000 words total (wrote a short story for a Winter Anthology too). It was a day full of win. Of course, the journey is far from over. My Alpha Readers now get a few weeks to pick the story apart and make suggestions for revision. I know there […]

Scouts of the Apocalypse: Zombie War is almost done in Draft

Posted on November 2, 2015 by Michell

I wasn’t planning on doing NaNoWriMo this year. I kept reminding myself that I have too many other demands on my time. Then, on Sunday, I started anyway. Who needs a life anyhow, right? 🙂 Seriously though, one of my projects on the go is the second book in the Scouts of the Apocalypse trilogy. I actually tested the story out on my Scouts already so it was time to write it. I really want it out in early 2016 so it made sense to get that added kick in the pants NaNoWriMo offers. As you can see by my attached screenshot, Sunday was a good writing day. I plan to have many more of those. So, if you are […]
