Finally getting some more representative feedback on the story (not just over the weekends), we’ve come up with a dual plan.
I now have a few volunteers to hopefully speed up the editing. As one pointed out, my storytelling is spot on, so the normal heavy lifting is somewhat eased, since there aren’t as many heavy edits required. No guarantees, though.
So, we’ll be plowing ahead, with a work-in-progress (WIP) story version, for those who want to continue ‘as is’, and then a separate, ‘Completed’ version, which will be posted once each is fully edited. It’s a compromise, and unlikely to please everyone, but if the typos really piss you off, you can just wait for a bit (just wait before reading the comments though, as those often contain spoilers, though like Grey Wolf, I’ll like monitor and delete any ‘spoilers’ in the story comments section.
Unfortunately, since I’m NOT as young as I once was, I’m also going to need to switch to a single update each week, as trying to do the heavy revisions in a single pass is basically killing me, as I just can’t maintain that pace for long. I also had a long discussion about chapter lengths, and I’ve ALWAYS written incredibly long chapters, so it seems logical to give myself more time for multi-pass chapter revisions, separate from the later subsequent edits.
Of course, you can always wait until everything is done and then purchase the completed set from Bookapy, as those I’m updating regularly, so each time you read it, it’s likely be different than the last time, which could get VERY confusing. The content isn’t changing, just the writing styles and I ’tighten’ each chapter up, updating the initial older writing styles.
So, when I switch, I’ll likely switch from my Tues/Thurs posting to a Thurs posting, though if that’s inconvenient, I’m willing to switch to what most prefer (as normally, it’s easier checking either early or nearer the weekends.
Again, I’m not trying to be difficult, just finding a way of minimizing the many disruptions. And again, Thanks to everyone who’s graciously volunteered to help!
