From my Writing Desk

Every book requires its own process to get to The End. I document my process in a writing diary for almost all my books, hoping to get a routine that I can stick with. It’s getting better.

For Riding the Centaur Lord, I added reading it on my Kindle Paperwhite while listening to it (Edit Out Loud app—I’ve had it for over 5 years now), and then making changes on Vellum. Before I just read it on Vellum. I think this way has helped me catch more annoying details.
