ROW80: Reflections.

I only have time for a very quick update at the moment, but will post something longer later on. Having missed posting yesterday I wanted to put something up during my lunch hours (30 minutes)

I had hoped to finish editing my novel during this round, and alas that hasn't happened. However, I am onto the last 20 pages or so which means in approximately two weeks time I will be done and ready to send it away to the copy editors.

I have averaged over 1000 words a day the last ten days or so which I am delighted about, and on the Cover Art front, my brother-in-law who has just started his own business as a graphic designer – watch this space for some promo work for him – has agreed to help me and take care of the book cover for me. I have the image already so things are really moving forward.

 

For me the real struggles start once the book is out there. Promoting myself and my writing, spreading my name and socializing. These are the aspects of being an indie writer that hinder me more than the writing of the novel itself.

I also plan to go through and re-edit my short story collection as in all honesty it was rushed and rather unprofessional when I brought it out earlier this year… hence my total lack of sales push for it.

 

Anyway, lunch is over (SIGH) and the afternoon / home stretch has begun. only 3 hours remaining and I can once again head home.

Thanks for reading.
