I’d rather avoid a ‘I’ve been quiet lately and this is why’ post, but here I am.
As you can see (from the widget in the sidebar) I have been writing. However, not nearly as much as I would like. That is where the title comes in.
I’ve also been spending some time getting a new schedule put together so I can be more productive in writing (as well as in other things). While I don’t make new year resolutions, I do have the goal of treating my writing more professionally.
In the end, if an authors wants to be successful, I fully believe one must treat it like another job. Otherwise, it is way too easy to give into distraction and find reasons to not write.
More than enough people have either asked how the writing is going or asked if the next book is out yet (or both) for me to realise my writing habits need to change.
My goal is to have Fading Echoes published by June, if not earlier. To keep to that schedule, I need to get my act together. No more ‘waiting for the muse’ or, more accurately, waiting for when I ‘feel like it’.
I will, of course, still be posting here.
It’s all part of the schedule…

Glad to know you haven’t been sick again. And remember: when you’re ready, I know a great editor you can use for Fading Echoes!

No, not sick, thank goodness!
I think I know the editor you’re talking about.
I’ll keep it all in mind for when I finish.
