I’m playing the waiting game.
When I first made the
decision this past Spring to jump into the world of ebooks, I had a plan (as I
always do).
My goal was to have my first
book up by November, with two more to follow over the course of a few months.
As tempting as it was to just
throw my babies out into the world without so much as a coat, cab fare and a
lecture about stranger danger, I knew I had to go through the process: fix the
plot holes in the first manuscript I wanted to release (and there were enough
to drive ten trucks through), refine it, take what I learned in Joy
Fielding’s class and apply accordingly, vet it, edit it, format it, cover
it and release it.
My sister read it and gave me
sound advice and then I decided to take two classmates up on their offer to
read it and give me their feedback. I’m
anxious to get their thoughts so I can incorporate them then move on to the
next stage.
In the meantime, I’m plowing
ahead with another WIP (work-in-progress) and if all goes well, I should have a complete first
draft by the end of October. I’m also
tweaking the next manuscript I plan to release and will be dusting off the
third to see what kind of shape it’s in.
I haven’t looked at in ten years, so that should be interesting.
As always, back to writing.
