DoaCK Bonus Content
DoaCK being “Diary of a Contract Killer,” if you didn’t intuit. Below are a couple of links to my blog on writing I created in the very early days of writing the first novel. The first is the initial character sketch I wrote after initially conceiving of the concept, almost 7,000 words (if clicking on the link gives some weird browser error, you should be able to copy and paste the URL instead):

The second is a blog post (about 4,200 words) I wrote about my thought processes when developing the characters and stories (you’ve likely already been exposed to the ‘spoilers,’ so don’t have to worry about that aspect):
At the end I promised an additional one for the second and third novels, though I never followed through. I can probably produce such fairly easily, if there’s interest for it, so lemme know if that’s the case.
This third is to all the content on that blog for DoaCK. It includes the two links above along with three that talk about my developmental editor experience, the query I initially developed when attempting to find a publisher and some stats on writing the first novel. Likely interesting only to those curious about the actual writing process.

As a by the by, if you find embedded links that don’t work, try adding ‘index.php/’ right after ‘wordpress/’ in the url. When I moved my webserver last time and had to rebuild everything, somehow I wound up with Wordpress creating different URLs for internal links (meaning to other blog posts) and never had the energy to sort out how to fix the issue.
Happy New Year!
