First Draft for Obligation's Unity is COMPLETE!

NaNoWriMo 2021 was a complete success! After a year of putting off finishing Book 2 due to hitting a creative wall, NaNoWriMo saves the day in helping me buckle down and get things done!
Is it a total train wreck of a first draft? Of course! I foresee myself doing way more rewriting of material in Obligation's Unit as opposed to Key of Arcandus. However, I might surprise myself and manage to streamline the number of rewrites now that I have gone through the publishing phase and understand

the process better. 
I'm not ready for BETA readers yet. I will begin phase one of the editing process in January of 2022, and it will take a handful of months to perform a reverse outline, rewrite known issues, merge / cut chapters, smooth out some character arcs, check consistency, etc. My goal is to be ready by April 2022, but we'll see how things come along. I have plans to go on a trip between now and then, plus I have family visiting for a while, too. It might be closer to June 2022. 
Either way, if you're interested in becoming a BETA reader for Obligation's Unity, stay tuned to my website, follow me on Instagram and YouTube, and in due time you'll see the official call-out. In the meantime...I'm going to enjoy the rest of what remains of 2021. 

Happy holidays, everyone!
