Hi folks, Wow I've had such an overwhelming start to this year I haven't had a chance to catch my breath. With starting a new full time job; and kidlet starting school; a neck injury; and my sister's upcoming wedding... Life has been a bit full-on and I'm only barely getting back up to speed now. So, my apologies for not keeping up with my usual schedule, but I've had to do some re-adjustment to my personal expectations. As such, I've made a hard decision - which is to postpone the release date for King Tide. With the original due-date being in June I still have a couple of months, but I'm nowhere near ready for that (especially with my sister's June wedding). I feel like if I push myself try to get it out, as per the previous timeline, what I'll end up with will be a rushed/half-arsed product that will not be as good as it could be. So I'm going to push back the release-date by at least several months. Probably until November. That will gi...
May is typically when SAD starts setting in. So I spent the month concentrating on work and parenting to conserve valuable spoons... but as it turned out I was retrenched in the first few days of June. So, looks like I have way more time to spend on writing this month. I'm working first up on the minutiae of getting The Conjunction ready for publishing first, then will get back to King Tide . I need ISBNs, I need to get a proof-read done, etc etc. So that's my priority for this month. In the meantime, I'm now reading my way through "The Twice-Scorned Lady of Shadow" (book 3 of the Guild Codex Unveiled series ) by one of my favourite authors: Annette-Marie .
I had a good month full of busyness. I got myself back in the habit of regular writing by working up a backstory for Tink. Dunno if I'll write it up and make it available to others. It's interesting as a story, but not sure it's a very gripping tale. Maybe if I have some spare time. But it served its purpose and got me into writing every day again for next month's plans. I've been working out how to use Amazon Ads by participating in the 5-day amazon ad challenge. Ads are essential tools for authors, because otherwise how do people find out about your book? Amazon ads are the ones that occur next to searches, and you can target them so that eg only people that are already interested in your genre get ads for your book - which means people get annoyed less by ads for books they aren't likely to be interested in, and this is what I was learning how to do. I've just begun, so there's not many people coming in to look at my stuff yet, but hopefully th...
