It's been a busy couple weeks, I haven't been at the computer that much since my last post. I guess part of having a big family is being a little socially obligated to attend functions and birthday parties and get-togethers and all those other things we've been doing lately. It's draining, honestly. The point is that I'm back (for a little while) we're going to be spending next week in Grants Pass. I am bringing the laptop and hopefully I'll have a few minutes to get some work done.
Chapter seven is still moving at a pace relative to glaciers or, uhm, a slug made of molasses? I'm hoping that today will be my last installment on it and then it'll be done. I've been tempted a few times to post my work here, but I'm seriously considering trying to get a publishing contract for this novel--putting any part of it on my blog would mean I'd have to take it down upon publication. I'm not knocking it, it's worked for other indie authors, but it does make a publisher less likely to take you on.
I really wish I had some counseling on this. I guess that's the part that sucks about being the only author you know. I guess that's not true, I know a couple others but they haven't been able to help. Regardless, I'm just going to keep writing. Worst case scenario is that I spend some money to promote it and put it online--no big deal. Given what I've read recently, even paper authors struggle with book promotion.
