So … Now What?

We have reached the point in the publishing process where there is nothing more for me to do.

I’ve done the edits, helped get the Arc readers their copies, gathered bloggers and reviewers, helped with the blog promotion package, shared my idea’s about publicity styles, and complied the prizes for my release party.

So … now what?

I have entered a true void. A vacuum of action. A dead calm on the sea of publishing.

It is a week before we go live with any promotions. And the Arc readers haven’t had their copies long enough to be hearing back from them. I have nothing to do for the first time in months.

And I’m feeling a bit lost.

I have started back on my morning routine of writing, so that is helping. Being able to dive in and do a few laps in Jonathan’s world is nice and gives me a nice distraction. I haven’t got into the habit of my afternoon edits again yet, however. Although I did do some last night when my body and mind seemed to have conspired against sleep.

As it is the summer season now, there are plenty of things that need doing and , if I can drag myself away from the computer, that will help pass the time and further distract me from this doldrum in the publishing process. But habits formed over the long, long winter are hard to break, so I’m sitting here more than I really should be.

I have a feeling, I’ll just get into the swing of not doing anything with ‘Tomorrow Wendell’ when I suddenly will need to be back at it for post release promotion.

Maybe I should enjoy this lull – maybe I’ll figure out how to reset my routine… probably just in time to realize summer is over and I missed it.
