I am well on my way to wrapping up some version of this novel just about when I wanted to — around April – May 2026.
But there are a lot — A LOT — of post-production issues that I am going to deal with. One of them is I really need to “color correct” my copy so it’s not a mish-mash of AI slop and my own writing. I need to go in and make as much of it as possible my own writing so people won’t just roll their eyes and call the whole thing “AI slop.”
It’s going to take a while to do that.
And THEN, I have to figure out what I’m going to do about beta readers. So, probably I suspect it could be Sept 1st before I actually begin to query. I hate shit like this.
But, I have to admit, this is the farthest I’ve ever gotten in the process. I actually have a novel that I feel is query-level good.
