Finally did some pitching and purging of ye olde office space. Garnered yet another 5-star review for A Tanka Picture Book. AND got the next release (much sooner than anyone expects) poised for a Dec 9th release. Oh, I didn’t kill anyone (that we know of) just teasing… huh?
I made a little (too little) progress on my WIP. I received the first copies of the print version of A Purgatory of Misery. An American lady who home schools read it on Kindle, wrote a glowing review and asked where she could get the print version because she wants to “add it to my youngest’s homeschool history course”. Words to give any author that warm glow of satisfaction. MyBook.to/PoM
I managed to finally secure some marketing. (needing review to get marketing hurts when you’re starting out).
I finished a short. (reward for review/readers group join)
I started the second book in my mystery series.
And I bluffed my way through 2 classes I taught yesterday because I’ve been too busy to actually get serious about my lesson planning. Oops.
Keeping up with what is becoming an online novel. Got a good beta review back. Still don’t have a double or triple cross plot device for a project. Any advice or resources, point me there or hit up my email from my wordpress site. Write like you mean it!
I finished NaNoWriMo – my next novel is now more than half done (first draft)! That is why I didn’t enter your competition, Dan. I couldn’t do both! Next time though! 🙂
