It has been a very eventful week. And I am excited to announce that Draft Two is finally finished! Previously I projected that I would end it at around 90 to 100k words, but I decided it was best for the book that I cut out the extra filler. Believe me when I say the book is better for it. No one wants 20 thousand words of people standing around and talking, waiting for the action to happen. The last few chapters snowball and I'd hate for the reader to lose momentum.

The draft does sit at about 85,000 words, which I'm sure will be trimmed down by my editor before its full release. Finishing this second draft feels like more of an accomplishment than finishing the first draft. What I'd written was broken and messy. I didn't think that it could be recovered. Thankfully I was very wrong. This new version is stronger and better than ever, truly capturing my vision for The Bright Spot.

It needed to happen sooner or later so on February 20th, 2025 I founded Redmatter Creations LLC. This is a huge step forward for me to have my own company where I can focus on doing what I love most. Writing Books for all of you and Web Design! (yes I know redmattercreations.com looks bad. It will be fixed soon.)

Basically, It's CEO'ing time.

As you guessed, the next chapter in the second draft is readily ready to be read by a reader. The reading can be read here: Chapter 6. The Password is Luminous6. Of course, Chapter 5 is unlocked and free for those who didn't back my project.
