I wrote The Recluse Storyteller using WORD (Boo! Don’t worry. Never again. It was before I knew about Scrivener) in the summer of 2012.

Now, I’m tasked with copying it over and formatting it Scrivener, so I can create the final Kindle version for release in early October.

Formatting Scrivener is not the easiest thing in the world. I’m still learning the ropes, but even as I only have the first five chapters moved over, I already love it so much better. What can beat Scrivener for organization? Truly wonderful.

So now I’m doing a thorough edit and formatting which will continue over the next few weeks until its finally ready for my proof-reader. I definitely had some missteps when I released Beauty Rising, and I’m working hard not to repeat them. We must learn from our mistakes, right?

But, eventually, I’ll shift it back over to WORD to do the final layout for the paperback version that I’m planning as well.

Lot’s of work ahead of me to meet the October deadline, but I’m going to do it. I’m so excited about getting this story out. It’s so different, and I think, engaging. I hope my readers will be able to connect with it immediately.

In August, I’ll be releasing the novel’s Prologue, and I’ll be doing a full-cover reveal.  Can’t wait.

The joy of indie-authoring!
