The writing progress meters are back up now!
Now I can show everyone that I’m about a third of the way done with 2:20. I’ve also been working on the fifth Destroyers book, but it’s coming along a little more slowly. I have a lot of ends to wrap up and five main characters to focus on in the last book of the series. It’ll be complicated, to say the least.
Mostly I’ve been sticking with my 1,000 word per day quota and it’s been working pretty well. I do have an occasional day where I’m unable to write much due to not feeling well, but I’m trying to make up for lost work on weekend days or days that I have off from work. Right now, I’m aiming to have my first drafts of both books done early April and plan to release both of them in late April or early May at the latest. If the timing is right, I might release both books at the same time.
So what’s coming after I finish the last Destroyers book? I’ll be working more on the Timeless Trilogy, of course, but I’m also open to writing more books about Tempests, Outreakers, and other walking disasters. And I do still plan to finish the Rita Morse series. However, this isn’t my main worry as it’s nowhere near in as much demand as my material for older age groups.
Holly, I found your blog just to see if/when the 5th Destroyers book would be out. I am 61, and retired. I found Tempest yesterday, and have read all four of the Destroyers books. All of the first three ended …. But the fourth one did not have an ending. I’m really enjoying these books, and can hardly wait to find out what happens and how things get tied up. You timeline sounds doable, even though. I wish the 5th book was being published the second week of January. I love reading series….. But hate to start them unless all the books are finished. Needless to say, I thought there were only four to this series. That being said, I’m still very glad that I began and finished these books. I’m going to read your ritaMorris books too, even though I know there may be more books later. As a former elementary teacher, I love reading young adult books, and still give suggestions to the librarian at my former school. I’ve really read some fantastic ones lately. Some more for middle or high even, but extremely good. Have you heard of the Marrenon Chronicles? Super series!! Thanks for your great creativity, and great luck with your schedule.

No, I haven’t heard of the Marrenon Chronicles. I might have to check it out as I need to get new books. I’ve almost read through my entire shelf!
Thank you for your feedback! I do plan on having the fifth book out in April or May at the latest. I’ll be doing a dual release with another book at that time.
