I wanted to give you some
updates about what’s been going on with me lately. Often people will ask me if
I’m currently writing something. Pretty much any time this is asked of me, the
answer to this question will be yes. I am always working on something. As many
of you know, crafting a novel is broken down into several stages. Plotting.
Writing. Editing. Editing. Editing. And while I’m caught up writing novels, I
also have a blast brainstorming other projects.
Here
are some things in the works for me:
- I’m excited to be visiting our local newcomer’s book club in November. I was thrilled when the representative for the newcomer’s group let me know they are planning to read my books as a way to help spread the word about my writing. My town has demonstrated such a wonderful show of support. P.S. I’d love to be a part of your book club! Contact me and I’ll work hard to make it happen.
- Over the summer I fell into a bit of a start pattern. I started over five novels, waiting for one to grab hold of me and convince me to keep with it. Finally one did just that and I’m deep into the characters and tension of that plot. Looking forward to releasing this book. I’m shooting for late spring/early summer of 2017, but as happens in this industry, that could change. What I can share so far is that this book is women’s fiction and the characters have completely rooted into my heart.
- I’ve been feeling a real fire lit under me to continue plotting a nonfiction idea that’s been percolating for years. Will keep you posted about this. It’s beyond exciting for me.
- I’m also still working through details as I develop a new website. Release date TBD.
- Finally, I’m pursuing a few works on the traditional publishing front. I feel hopeful things will come to fruition, but the wait keeps me grounded.
That’s the gist of my
writing-related projects. What has your focus lately?
