Weekly Update - It feels good to be back (Patreon)

Writing update:
It's been a minute since I've done one of these. Hopefully, this is the start of some new consistency. I've spent the last two weeks doing nothing but writing. It's wild to think about how much I could get done if I could write full time. I can see how the awesome full timers like Bruce and Sean crank out a book a month. It's inspiring and gives me a goal to work toward.
Anyway, I finished the epilogue of The Aspect book 4 today. I think it might be the longest chapter I have ever written, an almost 6700 word behemoth. It felt needed though, given I have spent two years of my life working on these characters and their stories.
The book is not quite done, though. I still need to finish 3-4 more chapters and do my edit passes. But I'm right on target where I thought I would be. Should have it all to you all next week.
Once it's done, it's going to betas and the editor for clean up and feedback. I'm hoping I nailed a good final conclusion and wrapped up all the important loose ends sufficiently and satisfyingly. It's always weird for as an author to see how your work is perceived. But each one is a learning experience either way.
What's next?
Once I send this off to beta's and editors, I'll be getting things in order to begin work on Aspect 4's print copy and finalizing the blurb. When I have the edits and beta feedback from Aspect 4, I'll be making corrections before throwing it up on Amazon and sending everyone their copies.
During the lull of publishing, I'll be focusing on preparing to start work back on Warhawk 2, Warhawk's Ultimatum. I need to go through all the chapters and do a re-read and edit before I start uploading them here.
For art, I'll be getting Eni's art prepared as the second Warhawk cover. Jclea should also be sending me the sketches for Aspect book 2's recover which I'll share progress with you all.
That's it for me this week. I hope you all have a good week ahead!
Side note:
I hope you all have enjoyed the ITD audio. I've got a few more gifts coming as well, so stay tuned for those. The spoiler is that they are holiday themed :)
