Updates and Junk
Well, hello there! It's been almost a month since I posted here, because, well, it's been longer than that since I actually did anything writerly or had anything writerly to talk about. If you want to see what I was up to, go to The Writing Spectacle. When I'm not here, I'm generally over there.
Things have been bad here with regard to writing or anything writing related. The last time I worked was March 15th - you know, before it all went to hell. The last time I sold anything was March 20th.
Since it had all gone to hell in March, I didn't even bother updating my spreadsheets to show the month of April. And it's already getting near time to do May. Yep, yep.
All of that changed over the weekend. I made it change. As I said on yesterday's Sunday Update post, this chaos crap has already taken up too much of my time and mental real estate, and it's time to get back to business.
To that end, I made myself sit down and work on getting Ugly and the Beast ready for publication. I had hoped to have it to you by the end of last month. Well, hope in one hand... right? The new hope is to have it to you by the end of this month. Good lord willin' and the crick don't rise. All I have to do is finish these edits my wonderful proofer friends sent along to me last month, weed out some crutch words, check it all over again, and then format the sucker. (Your work was not wasted, proofer friends, just delayed a bit.)
Meanwhile, I have the next scenes for Cinder Ugly waiting for me to write. I'm not promising anything with regard to dates for that yet. Until I have the first draft completed, I can't even hint at a date. All I can promise is that I seem to be back on track again.
Not sure what this'll mean in the long run. Will sales climb out of the dumper? Time will tell. All I know is that I've had enough of this and I'm ready for a return to normal again. I have no control over what happens out there in the world, but I can control what happens in here. Time to take control again.
