June Update for Rothaen

Hell all!

I've gone through the manuscript and it's now time to send it out to editing. I'm hoping to have it back by the end of August. Then you will get a play test copy. While it's being edited, I'll be working on the other books. 

Have a great month and I'll talk to you in July!

It's time for the monthly update. Right now I'm on page 200 of going back over all of the manuscript before it heads to editing. Only 50 more pages to go! I will hand it off to editing next week. After that, you all get a play test copy, which I'm hoping will be in your hands by August. 

Have a great weekend everyone!

Read through continues. I'm about halfway at this point. Once it's done, it gets handed off to the editor and then to you in play test form. I'll update you again in May. Have a great month!

OK, I've taken some time away from Rothaen and am jumping back in. The read through starts today. Then it goes to editing. After that, we should have a play-test version you can review before the final edit. 

Have a great week!

That's how many words the core book is right now! It's done and is to big, but done. I'm so happy. I have all of Hamish's work as well. Done, it sounds great right, well, done with this version, but that's a massive step forward. 

Now what?

I take two weeks off from Rothaen... "What, two weeks! You lazy SOB!" 

I need to take a few days off from this. I could lie and say I'm working on it, but I'm not a fan of lying about my progress. I've been working on it day in and day out and I need space from it and fresh eyes before I start my read through. Here is the next steps. 

  • Read through and edit down (Right now it's way to big and needs trimming.)
  • Pass off to be editing and proof reading
  • Make a playtest PDF and send it to you good people (Hopefully by this summer.)
  • Get your notes back by September and make further edits. 
  • One last big go through, and BAM done. 

There you have it. Thank you all for your support and being patient while this has been worked on, I appreciate it. It feels great to be moving forward.
