As the beta reader period for Meat Cute comes to a close and the month turns over, my dork ass decided I wanted to make a progress bar infographic for the stuff I'm working on, because that kind of shit makes me happy.

I got these percentages from the gantt chart I use to track my progress, bc ofc I use a gantt chart.

Meat Cute is coming out of the beta reads with plenty of edits for me to make (and I am so incredibly grateful to everyone who chose to beta read I have been non stop crying bc thats just how I roll baybeeee).

And while it is nearing the finish line, the beta reads have made me reassess how I want to publish. I'm thinking now I'll do more of a rapid release, pushing out these babies every few months or so, and getting 3 or 4 books out a year. That is. . . intense. For me. I kind of want to have those 3 or 4 books at 100% before I publish the first in the release. But it also means that I'm probably not hitting that goal of publishing Meat Cute in 2024 :\ We'll see though.

Book 2 of the Weird Series, Jersey Boys, JUST finished second edits. I'm letting that take a breather for the next couple of weeks before I go in for another round.

Both books 3 and 4, Hot Moss and another one with the working title Biggie (lol guess who) have finished first drafts, both having been pumped out in nanowrimo (rest in piss) in 2022 and 2023 respectively. I'm going to focus more on Hot Moss in an attempt to streamline that rapid release.

Book 5, not seen here, is currently in the outline phase and lemme tell you lads, its going to be real real gay.

In other news, I'm working on a different book entirely. Its a horror comedy about a misanthropic urban explorer who gets their ass stuck in a haunted hotel. At the moment I'm plucking away at the first draft (and really feeling how I've become more of a pantser in my old age). This one is stand alone, going to be longer than the books in the Weird Series, and I'm aiming to get this one traditionally published.

So yeah. Thats what happened in May :V

Look at my word count blankie!

Each row is the amount of words I wrote each day. The lighter and brighter, the more words I wrote. I wrote a little more than 35K in May with a few 3K+ days in there.
