I forgot to mention in my last update that I was going on vacation in August. As a result, I didn’t have time to write a proper update this month. The newsletter will return in three weeks with another Beyond the Book post. Until then, I hope you enjoy whatever is left of your summer!

After 10 months, the magical realism rewrite is complete! At the start of the year, I set an ambitious goal of rewriting my entire manuscript to include elements of magical realism and historical fiction by the fall, and with a lot of hard work, I completed the rewrite on time.
In my last update, I wrote that I had just finished 75% of the rewrite and was about to start work on the book’s final act. Well, after four weeks of hard work, I have completed… one chapter. Yes, this past month was spent working on what turned out to be one of the hardest chapters of the entire
The past month was both super busy and very productive. Rachael was traveling for two weeks, and then my family from Costa Rica was in town. Despite the chaos, I was able to finish Act 2B ahead of my deadline, which means that the magical realism rewrite is now 75% complete!
