Nice timing!

The copy editor got Tribulations back to me! That’s nice—assuming it doesn’t need too much work, I should be able to have the e-book and regular paperback out sooner rather than later.

Ugh, I feel like I should figure out some kind of marketing plan, especially since people have waiting so long for book three, but…bleagh. I mean, the issue is that my life is quite a bit busier now, and I never really enjoyed marketing, so…. For sure, if you don’t market you don’t sell books, but I don’t really need to sell books to make a living, so it’s hard to motivate. If it were a stand-alone book I just wouldn’t care, but I do feel badly because the series did have fans who have waited forever…le sigh.

Progress report

I heard back from the copy editor of Tribulations, which makes me hopeful it will return to me sooner rather than later. So today I updated the cover, since that needs to happen. That was a more-complicated one, so I’m glad it’s done.

I’m going to be pretty busy the next week or so, so I’ll probably take a little holiday from book stuff. Then if Tribulations gets back to me, I can put that out, and if not, I’ll get to work on the second romance book (I want to write out the entire series before publication—it’s just that kind of project).

THE END

FINISHED BOOK 1!! WHOO!

I wrote 2,700 words to do it, yeah! As a whole, the book is 47,000 words long, which kind of puts it between a novella and a novel, but romance novels are often on the short side, so I’m fine with that. The idea is to have nice, bite-sized individual books that are satisfying on their own but also fit together into a longer story.
