Project Update: Final Update before we go to print!
Hey folks, sorry for the delay in sending this update. It has been a jam-packed few weeks!
I'll be quick.
First, every single bit of writing is complete for both books! The content is great, and we are very excited about the main Angel Dust and KFAD stories as well as Woodpecker from Mars and Zombie Eaters. You're going to love them!
Second, the editing is nearly complete. I (Jason W.) have finished editing all of the main book content last month. I am almost done with Woodpecker from Mars. Zombie Eaters will be done by the end of next week. All in all, the editing has been slower than I would have liked. A good bit of the slowness has the struggle to shorten everything. I've had to train my brain to say things in more concise ways, which has been difficult. Both Jason P. and I tend to be long-winded, and that has been working against us in these last two books. All that said, we're getting close!
Layout is set to commence in two weeks and will be done in September. As you all saw with the (nearly) complete PDF of Angel Dust, we're producing a quality product that sticks to the design and format of The Real Thing book one. The Real Thing came in at 128 pages. Angel Dust us at 136. My hope is to get King for a Day down to 128 or 136... but right now it is closer to 150. That's not ideal. Cross your fingers for me!
So, it looks like we're going to print in October. This is well behind our initial estimates. My hope is that you will all forgive me once you have the books in your hands. They are going to be epic!
Cheers,
Jason, Jason, and some other helpful folks
