I'm way behind on notifications, and it looks like it will continue that way until I finish editing Thread of Evidence. It's coming along well. My stats from Grammarly are fantastic, even before I start editing, and my reading level according to Insights, which shows everything about the book by way of stats, shows it averages a sixth-grade reading level, making it readable for most adults.
I was encouraged that I would get at least three chapters done yesterday until I got to the second chapter. The first being only 9 pages. However, the second was 22 pages. 8 hours and 31 pages later, I closed down the computer, my brain mush, but very happy with the progress I've made with Thread of Evidence.
I now have 11 chapters completed and will be starting chapter 12 shortly. That chapter has 25 pages and just might be the only chapter I can handle today, we'll see. I would like to get two chapters finished, but some edit issues are frustrating. However, the more frustrating, the more I'm also learning. I still enjoy editing and every other part of the writing process. That will never change.
I also have laundry to do. I still haven't heard from my son. If I do that today, I guarantee it will be the only chapter I complete today. I just checked in with FB and found my answer. I will be doing laundry tomorrow.
I will get to all the notifications. It's just taking longer, so please be patient with me. I also need to write the Favorite Western for today, yet, and will post it at some point today.
For now, I'm leaving you, getting something to eat, and will embark on Thread of Evidence. Have a wonderful day.
Do you have plans for today? Thanks for reading.

Only so many hours in a day. Sad but true.

As you know I love to read but never realized how much goes into a book before it gets published. Hope you can get through another chapter today.
Nothing exciting going on here today just the usual housework and maybe a nap this afternoon?

@just4him yes I thought all authors just flowed with ideas and story lines that fill the pages of a good book. Seriously I didn't really think about all the editing etc that is required. I have a new appreciation for you and all other authors

@Marilynda1225 You're not supposed to think about all that goes into writing a book when you sit down to read one. Your only thought should be that it's a good book and you would recommend that book and author to your friends. That's the highest form of praise. However, I'm sure you've read a book you thought was lacking a lot, plot-wise, and other ways that left you wondering about the author and where his or her mind was when she/he wrote it. I know I have.
Thank you.

All I can say is that if you can get three chapters done in one day that is saying something. Most writers have a hard time getting one chapter done...IF they get a chapter done. As for the notifications, they can wait. Just get that book done. When the words are flowing you don't want anything to get in the way of that.

I agree. It's been one a day for the past week. I might be able to get two done today as the next two chapters aren't as long as the ones before them. We'll see.
Yes, the notifications are here and piling up on me.
You're right. I need to work when the words are flowing.

points are irrelevant really as they don't indicate earnings in any way.
