Author's Note
Hey, Rubies!
Now, now, hold the pitchforks and hear me out. Yes, I did delete my book...forthefourthtime.
ANYWAY, it was for a perfectly good reason.
The reason being that it wasn’t hittin’ you know. Some of you might have liked the book, maybe even enjoyed it but I didn’t. It felt (at least to me) very static. The story I wanted to tell was not typing itself out on the page and it was frustrating me. Not to mention, the slow start to the story was a no-go and I can’t remove it without rewriting the whole thing again.
So, I took a deep breath and pulled the plug.
Do I feel slightly heartbroken? Yes.
Am I angry it took this long to realise that I hated my book? Yes.
Do I think I made a good decision? 100% yes!
Because let’s be honest, who here has never thrown out a piece of art because it just-wan’t-right. (unless you’re a leisure reader then you don’t count) Basically, my book is going through ametamorphosis stagewhere it will take some time (meaning lots of editing, restructuring and rephrasing) before it’s perfect.
I want “Deliver Us” to be my debut book one day and for that to become a reality, I need to learn to rip it up and start afresh. (some of you might be struggling with this too; you’re not alone, ruby)
The message of this book series is not only the core of my writing but also my life and faith. Its absolutely paramount that I do whatever is necessary to get the message out there because some of you might need it. (what exactly? That’s for you to find out)
There is much that I changed: the world building, the theme, the story line and basically everything but there is much I still kept.
Don’t worry, Ithinkthis will be the last time I change this book.
Welcome, Rubies to the Volume 1 of the Chains of Tomorrow.
(formerly known as the Seraphim Chronicles)
Again!...again...again...again?
Whatever!
You know the drill:READ OR IMMA HUNT YOU DOWN AND MAKE YOU MYSELF!
