C&D2’s first draft is done!
As the title suggests, I just finished the first draft of C&D’s sequel. I have been struggling for so long to complete this, and now… IT’S FINALLY DONE!!!
What’s next?
God willing, this: I’m going to give my brain a break from C&D2-related activities, then do a personal readthrough. Then it’s off to beta readers, which should last for about a month. After that, there’s fixing whatever issues the beta reader/editor found, which should hopefully not take that long. After formatting the result of that, we should be ready to go.
Hopefully this will all take place this year, and I’m confident it will. But for the moment, I’m going to relax my brain.

More information on C&D2!!!
Information you’ve all been waiting for.
Why I prefer the generic he to the singular they.
This aforementioned principle of mine is sadly no longer about grammar; it is about a whole host of partisan issues. But I’m going to ignore all of those and talk solely about why I don’t use the singular they for an antecedent of unknown gender.
Are there games in Heaven?
This is a question that has often perplexed me, being player of games myself, for one cannot find a dogmatic answer to it, and this is perhaps for the best. We know that we cannot truly imagine what Heaven will be like, and that we have have perfect natural happiness and, of course, our supernatural beatitude, which is the point of this entire endeavor. If there are no games of any sort, then we will still have the infinite glory of gazing on God Himself for all eternity.
I’m looking forward to reading it!
Now that is good news.
Will there be a hardcover edition like book 1?
God willing, yes. As it’s really a matter of having a bigger cover, there should be no reason why there wouldn’t be one.
