Sometimes We Ran 3: Rescue - 3 Years Published
Sometimes We Ran 3: Rescue is three years old this week. Time sure flies, doesn't it? :)
Interesting story about SWR 3. I was heading into the middle portion of the first draft ...about 40,000 words or so. Things were going smoothly. I'm talking maybe 500-1000 words per sit-down writing session. The words flowed well, and the events of the story fell into place one by one. The draft was rough, but editing would clean it up nice.
Then ...pain, numbness, pins and needles.
I somehow pinched a nerve in my neck, causing the previously mentioned pain, numbness, and pins and needles in my right hand. It was painful to type, and it got hard to sit at my desk. I watched hopelessly as my production dropped to about 100-250 words. The work slowed to a crawl. A delay was coming.
I made a decision to take a short break. Everything got better, although it didn't go away. I was able to salvage the work sessions, bring up the word count, and make it to the end.
In short, Sometimes We Ran 3: Rescue was a painful book to write ...literally! :)
To celebrate this milestone, Sometimes We Ran 3: Rescue will be at the low, low price of 99 cents for the rest of the month.
