The process has taken longer than I expected. Last week I was told by Kindle Press that it had been sent to the layout folks to format for the Kindle. My guess is that within a week it will be available for pre-order and those folks who were kind enough to nominate Ant Farm in the Kindle Scout process will receive their free books at that time. As soon as they put up the preorder button, I'll make the print version available as well (it's all ready to go.)

The only consistency I employ is that I work on writing mostly early in the day because I am a morning person and that's when I think best. The afternoon's are not productive, but I can often have a good second session after dinner.

I average 1,000 hours a year, but daily variation is high. When I am working on revisions or marketing, I can easily put in 8-10 hour days. After two hours of new writing, my mind is toast.

I don't think my approach should be anyone's model, other than to say everyone should do what works for them.(less)

Moose Crossing

“Everybody wants to see a moose—until they do and discover how big they are.” ~ Larry Roncaglione


 

I played hooky from writing for the last half of August because I’m doing active research. Here’s the story: On the 13th, two friends and I bought 200 acres of mixed forest with a half-mile of river running through it. The property is located 2.5 miles north of my home in Michigan’s Upper Penins
