Update IV

So the last two weeks has seen me wallowing helplessly in writer’s block, becalmed and in despair. Four thousand-odd words in 14 days.  And my office chair is crapping out.

Well, not really in despair, I did extensive research for numerous projects, re-edited Dark Obligations (no plot changes, just my on-going war with abuse of commas and typos), and immersed myself in material intended to get the juices flowing.

Which I believe worked.Yesterday I believe I cracked the story arc issue with Game, and have materially advanced the projected plot lines of other projects.

On other fronts, books sales are strong, with my favorite but slowing-moving Sunstone suddenly seeing a welcome upturn in sales. It’s not a surge for Sunstone, but it is getting read.

No less than four reviews popped up, which is a big thrill for me; reviews are hard to come by, and each I get is pondered.

As usual I was advised to get an editor and that is true, but the simple fact is that a professional reviewer costs more than any one of my books would earn in a year. Therefore I (and the majority of indie writers) must go with non-professional editing.

Anyway, 2018 is starting out well; writer’s block affects everyone, and I don’t let it get to me.
