Is It Time For A Change?
Usually my blog is a bit of a friends-having-coffee ramble about what's going on in my writing life, what I'm planning and anything I'm excited about.
Are you bored yet?
The past two weeks HAVE been eventful. The Unscheduled Stops anthology is up to 82 downloads, and is in the process of distribution to Deisel©, Apple©, Kobo©, Barnes and Noble©, Amazon© and Sony©. I've done some debating over having it produced in print form through Createspace©. (By the way, the decision on that has been put off until after the holiday season).
I've joined some new writing groups. In fact, I'm in so many writing groups I'm hardly able to keep up. I think I'll soon have to bow out of some of them.
I'm working on beta reading a compelling fantasy-fiction novel for a fellow indie author, Ressa Empbra. One of my writing groups is staging a challenge and, of course, I have the three blogs I contribute to.
I've submitted a short story to a charity anthology and I have the beginnings of what could be another novel in my Bits and Pieces folder. Beta reports are beginning to come in for "Learn To Love Me", as well. I'm looking forward to making the changes some of those reports have prompted. I really think the book will be much better for those readers.
I AM planning some things, though they're still in the "contemplation and research" stage, so there really isn't much to tell. My next potential project is a supernatural, mythological-based posthumous story. It's still uncertain what form the story will eventually take. A short story doesn't seem long enough and a novel might be too daunting. I think I'll simply get the research and basic outline done, and see how many words it takes to tell the story.
I've also been contemplating giving an old fantasy-fiction novel one last chance at rescue from the purgatory box under my bed.
I AM holding back a couple of announcements I'm rather excited about. Unfortunately, I'm not able to divulge those secrets just yet. If you're following me on Google +©, Twitter© or FB©, though, you'll certainly be among the first to know when I can spill the news. No, I haven't been picked up by a publisher or an agent. It's not something I expect will happen, either; one of the downfalls of being a general- fiction/poetry/prose/mystery writer.
My chances of attracting a publisher would likely be increased, significantly, if I would stick to a single genre, but I love to challenge myself. The gypsy in me isn't willing to choose just one place to settle yet.
So that's my ramble for this blog. Now I'm going to put you to a task. I need to hear from each of you who've read this entry; even a couple of words or a single sentence. What I want to know is this: what should I do with this blog? Would you like to see me continue with my odd little babblings, or would you prefer to see the blog make a change? Shall I find a new theme/purpose, a new hook to bring in more followers? Have you actually read to the end of the post? Is there anybody out there? *insert cricket chirps here*
