It is still coming! Honest! Eye issues have slowed everything waaaaay down, but I'm still plodding along.

[A.R. Fenton @FantasyWriter42]

It’s D&D day!! I will have more stories to share about my player’s adventure. Hopefully it will be ones of triumph, and not one filled with questionable choices! 😂

Hi! I’m excited to announce that the first entry in a series of journal entries, written by one of the main characters, will be posted this week on Substack. Stay tuned for a brief introduction to her!

@LeannaRapier I always read the last chapter of a book first after an author killed my favorite character halfway through a novel. Now... if they aren't at the end, I try not to get attached. 😆

I just started a Substack! Check it out here https://t.co/ChweGreTX1

Life of a pantser...

Character: "I'm left-handed."
Author: "Got it. Left. Wait! What? I just wrote all those fight scenes with you being right-handed."
Character: "Sorry."
Author: "Why didn't you tell me?"
Character: "You didn't ask."

And now to fix the entire battle scene.

Finally!! A proof book for the new edition has arrived!

[A.R. Fenton @FantasyWriter42]

Whew... rebranding is finally finished! It was a difficult decision to revert back to my maiden name, but I think it's best in the long run. AND... I can't wait to get my books back out! It's exciting to be getting close!!

[A.R. Fenton @FantasyWriter42]

@cjhurdwrites I can beta read for you.

[A.R. Fenton @FantasyWriter42]

@JuneDayBooks I am an editor, but I always have an editor work on my books (after family and friends help of course : ) ). I think an author needs an outside set of eyes to spot problems they may miss.

[A.R. Fenton @FantasyWriter42]

@stolieroditis Thank you! : )

[A.R. Fenton @FantasyWriter42]

Here's a sneak peek at one of the maps for the new edition. It's getting close!! : D

[A.R. Fenton @FantasyWriter42]

@lhallwriter Yup. One of the main bad guys in my trilogy, an obnoxious prick, was based off a guy who ghosted me. 😂

[A.R. Fenton @FantasyWriter42]

@L_Eve_Gale Yes! It's what I do for a living. And no! I hate editing my own work before sending it to my editor. So, I guess it is both. 😂

[A.R. Fenton @FantasyWriter42]

@SilverGill47 @RGRyan777 That's not what an editor is supposed to do. They are supposed to make sure your unique voice comes through while correcting what needs fixed.

[A.R. Fenton @FantasyWriter42]

** learned the spelling** I wish I could edit posts without paying.

[A.R. Fenton @FantasyWriter42]

Who decides words become archaic? I mean... I learned the spell and meaning of "engulph" from reading Herman Melville's Moby Dick (Ch. 9) in middle school. Now I'm told I can't use that spelling because it's wrong. It's supposed to be engulf, which looks completely wrong!!

A book of nothing but poetry about dogs. I think I found my new favorite book! It was published in 1916.
