ROW80: Time Flies When You Are Having Fun

Wow. Can I just start by saying I cannot believe that it is already time for another update. Where have the last few days gone?

Since my last update things have not really changed. Let me rephrase that, productivity hasn't changed. I have been cranking out over 1000 words a day for well over a week now and am now 38,000 words into my next novel. I plan on it being around 100,000 words given the current ideas I have, so I am over a 30% of the way through and will be finished with it, rested and ready to start editing around Christmas time. If I can keep this pace up.

On the whole I am delighted not just with the progression of writing on a daily basis, but also with the way my thoughts and sub-plots are coming together for the road ahead. As I mentioned I am pretty much plotted out until the end of this novel, and have some great ideas for the third installment.

On the promotion front I am kind of starting to pull my hair as out as I flounder around pretending to know what I am doing.

I have done a small blog tour. It was only 5 stops but hey a tour is a tour right. So far, it hasn't actually generated any sales or hits on my blog above what I would normally receive. I am beginning to think that maybe people aren't that interested in an adult horror novel. Yet I will soldier on because I believe in myself and that is already half of the battle won. I have three reviews that should come in the week around Halloween so I am planning another push then to see what can happen. If there is still nothing then I will take a step back, analyze my methods and make whatever changes are necessary.
