Book 2 Pre-Order Live!
I just found out that you can put a kindle book up for pre-order, so I did just that. Here's the link: www.amazon.com/dp/B00VIUOO76
I set the release date for May 1st, which will give lots of time to get the final edits done before I need to submit the final copy. Now, depending on what changes need to be done exactly, I may need to take time away from the writing, but I don't see that as an issue.
The main takeaway with this 300 000 word goal is to keep me motivated while I get a nice routine going. If I don't meet the goal in the allotted three months it's not a failure in my eyes. As long as I get close that's all that matters.
To put it in perspective, the word count I'm going for is a little bit more than the length of an average fantasy novel like Game of Thrones. Also, if I want to reach the goal in three months, that means I have to write between 3000-3500 words everyday, with no days off.
That's a lot of writing, and I like to take breaks from time to time.
The point is to turn this into something akin to work hours and make it a habit to write all the time. I can't keep going like I did in the past, writing a huge chunk in a short period of time then taking months off before writing another chunk.
If I want to make it as a writer I have to be more like Stephen King than George RR Martin, but still take cues from both their styles. Finding that balance is the key.
