Since I released by first novel The Need to Know, that, as most first novels are, was a labor of love, and sweat, and cursing, and doubt, and vindication when it finally got out there, I have been deterred by this concept of speed writing.
You know of which I speak. For indy authors the idea of building readers is volume. "Crank them out and flood them with your witty prose." Oh, how I wish I could claim I was that brilliant, but trust me, I am not.
In my mind, and probably to my detriment, I'm a book a year kinda guy ( writer). So, since I'm old fashioned in this thinking, and hopelessly doomed to obscurity on the coveted readers' rooms I fear, I better be cranking out some seriously catchy yarns.
Fingers crossed! You can all be the judge on the next one.
I agree. I'm a book a year author as well. And I won't put anything out there that I do not consider 'the best.' I do not understand how a writer could do anything less.
