I can’t believe it’s been over a month since my last update. In fairness, I took a week off from everything – which is very unlike me – to move and get settled into my new place. As I sit at my desk in my new office, the sound of morning commuters zipping by on the road, […]
I’ll admit that I’ve been feeling a little defeated lately. The lack of sales of A Sour Chord – though mostly my fault for not really marketing it – have me questioning why I’m even doing this. Not because I want the money, that’s not – and never has been – what this is about. […]
I published A Sour Chord on May 18th of this year and immediately went back to work on My Last Days, trying to finish that book’s first draft. Since then, sales of A Sour Chord have dropped off significantly, selling maybe one or two copies a month on Kindle or iBooks, none on the other […]
I’ve got a handful of people reading My Last Days right now. Not to tell me that I missed a comma or a closing quote or the like, but to tell me what they think of the story. I read through it twice when I finished the first draft and I’m not fully sure that […]
It seems like it flew by once I started working on, it really did. Once A Sour Chord was published and for sale, I started hitting My Last Days again. And hit it hard I did. The total word count is just over 92k, and the story seems to all warrant such a word count. […]
Perhaps that’s not the best title for a blog post, but it’s true. The end is, in fact, near. The end of the first draft of My Last Days, that is. If all goes according to plan, I should finish this week and start my first round of edits either this weekend or early next […]
Now that A Sour Chord is fully done and for sale in the various market places, I’ve decided to put off all of the other real-world tasks that I have to complete and get back to work on My Last Days. Last week I started re-reading everything I’d written so far, so I can be […]
I didn’t realize it had been so long since I’d updated the progress blog here. Over the last three weeks, a bit has changed with things. My new (wonderful) editor, Lauren, sent me her initial feedback earlier in this month, which I’ve read at least half a dozen times by now. I agreed on most […]
Over the last three weeks, I’ve been chugging away at My Last Days, trying to get through the first draft. You can see the recent word count history there on the right. A couple of big days early on, but I’ve been slowing and missing days due to “real life” getting in the way. It’s […]
It didn’t occur to me until I just typed the title of this post that both of my first two books have three word titles. Completely unintentional, I assure you. Since my last update, a number of things have happened. So let’s catch you up, shall we? I launched this here website. It’s not entirely […]
