These are always fun to write. I typically do it as I’m rounding the final corner of the manuscript so it’s a cool milestone to hit. I’ve still another 12-15,000 words to write and then polishing, but I’ve been hitting about 1.5k words a day. Which is the best writing I’ve ever done in terms of sheer volume, and from what I’ve been churning out, I don’t think much editing will be needed.
I learned today that there are ‘over writers’ and ‘under writers’. Over Writers tend to be extremely verbose and write too much, while Under Writers will lean towards not being wordy enough in terms of description, dialogue, etc.
I’m definitely an Under Writer. If I had to choose, I’d prefer this anyways as it means when I go back to edit instead of cutting big chunks out, I’m adding to the story.
But anyways, I wrote the Back Book Blurb today.
Here it is. (Subject to change.)
***
Corporal Henry didn’t sign up for adventure.
He signed up to kill the enemy.
And as the Marines of the 2nd Division push back the Empire of Japan from their heavily fortified islands in the Pacific Ocean, he is given the chance when they are tasked with taking Yeuhan Island. A small island with an airfield vital for the coming invasion of mainland Japan.
It is there, underneath the sand and bodies, that a secret of the Imperial Japanese Army will be discovered hidden inside the island.
The Emperor’s Unit Thirty-Five.
A sadistic combination of fanatical scientists and soldiers, who search for the mysterious, the wonderous, and the unknown. Anything that will aid their empire in crushing the Americans.
On Yeuhan Island, they found kaiju.
And it is up to Corporal Henry and his small band of degenerate Marines to kill them all.
Or the tide will turn, and the war will be lost.

Coming soon.
Gunpowder and Ink!
