Now what?
Now that Irene has missed us and my new book, Dog River Blues (A Wes Darling Mystery)
is live, what do I do?
It's been too hot to do much on the boat, although we did have a rigger go up the mast and fix our roller furling. It has been jamming and now it seems to be working right. I also took the time before the storm to install a new water pump. The old one gave up a while back but I was determined to get the book done before I tackled the job (two more jobs off the to do list). Now I just hope the hurricanes keep away for the rest of the summer.
Since it won't begin to cool down before the end of October, that gives me two full months to work on the next book, a standalone thriller tentatively titled Weep No More. I have a first draft finished on the book and I think I can get most of the rewriting done before November. I'd like to get it out before we leave Ft. Lauderdale (hopefully around the first of the year) but no promises. It took me eight months longer than I thought it would to get Dog River Blues out.
Starting in November we plan to work full time on the boat. That was our plan last year but like I said, it took longer than expected to finish Dog River Blues and Mary and I both felt that the book took priority over getting away from Ft. Lauderdale.
Sometimes I'm not sure which is more time consuming, living on a boat and maintaining it, or writing. I'd rather be writing, but someone has to do the boat maintenance. Unfortunately, I'm a one project at a time person and it seems that I have to give all of my attention to either the boat or the writing, but I have a hard time doing both.
What about you, the reader. Are you a multitasker, or do you have to plod along working on one project at a time?
