Dos and Don'ts
How is it December already? I have a crazy list of things I need to accomplish and I'm not even talking bout the upcoming holidays. So without further ado, here's the list:
Do:
Finish the Work-In-Progress rough draft and get it to my agent. I'm almost there. Only about a hundred pages to go. (If you're interested, the working title is MYSTIC)Plan to get the word out there for the April release of WISHFUL THINKING. I have some contest ideas and giveaway thoughts, as well as some advertising ideas too.Somehow promote my kindle book, Temptation's Warrior. Come up with more original ideas for my blogs. You all must be getting sick of me constantly writing about why I like genre fiction.Remember to take more time for myself and my health. I have got to walk my dogs more (don't worry, there are two others in my household who take them out too).Enjoy not working the day job.
Don't:
Worry about Amazon numbers.Compare myself to other author friends. Because the way I view things, I always come out on the short end.Edit in my head as I write the rough draft. That's what revision is for.Drive myself crazy with the things I have no control over. Tell myself my writing and ideas aren't worthy. Be so hard on myself.Make impossible lists.
If you didn't know I was neurotic before, you do now.

Books I'm reading now:
The Marked Son by Shea Berkley
American Gods by Neil Gaiman
