Awwww!!! Thanks for your kind words about this thread! Sorry I took so long to respond. I've been hunkering down writing so I've been quite neglectful of this thread lately, but I really do appreciate it.PS: That was a weird way to say: THANK YOU for sharing your successes and your failures!
Thanks so much for asking! I'm drafting the final few chapters of my current novel, and it feels soooo sloooooow. In happier news, I should have a first draft within the week, and will begin editing/proof-reading shortly thereafter.Hey @ChickenHawk, how is it going? Any updates?
And now, where I confess something embarrassing -- I haven't yet finalized a bonus book as an incentive for the list signups. I actually spent like a month putting something together -- a bonus book of deleted scenes, book-trivia, etc. But when I was done, I just didn't know about it. And the more I waffled, the less confident I felt in it. I also got distracted with some cover redesigns and advertising-training and found myself waaaay behind schedule. Finally, I set everything else aside to focus on writing my current novel, because I was falling so far behind. So now I'm hustling to catch up. I definitely need to revisit the bonus book, but I don't believe I'll be doing that until I'm done with this current story. (*Hangs head in shame...*)
I'm thinking of trying something new with my next release. I'm thinking of getting my current book ready to go, but NOT releasing it until I've drafted my next book. On the downside, this will mean a delay in my next anticipated release date. On the upside, this will let me capitalize on my current writing momentum and release my next two books much closer together.
