I promised myself that I was going to start promoting both the series, and Cindy’s story as soon as I got them all republished. It was a brilliant plan! Promote your books, make some money, rinse and repeat. So…what did my dumb ass do instead? I started writing the next series book. I already have two chapters done and I’m working on the third right now. Not only am I working on another book, but I’m typing with numb fingers on a keyboard I hate just to write it. Why are my fingers numb? I had carpal tunnel surgery on my right hand, and the nerves will take up to a year to recover. My left hand is numb now and needs surgery as well, but I’m going to try to avoid that with ice and stretching if I can. Why do I hate this keyboard? Because I’m constantly masking typos because of my fingers, and it’s got a piss poor layout as far as the enter key and the backspace key, and the keys are a bit smaller than I’m used to, so I’m constantly hitting the s with the a, and the \ | key when I go to hit enter. I wanted a keyboard with the large, backward L enter key that I’m used to, but they’re practically impossible to find anymore. Sigh…
As for the book, I don’t have a title for it yet, and to be perfectly honest, it’s already turned into something story-wise that I hadn’t intended to do when I started it. I knew a couple of things that I wanted to do with it, but now I have a story element that just developed on its own that’s going to end up being the main focus of the book. Not only did it develop on its own, but at the end of the second chapter, it develops in a way that wouldn’t have even occurred to me until it actually came time to write it. That’s actually one of my favorite things about being an author. I can just type, and the story flows out of me in such a natural way that it almost feels like I’m channeling it from somewhere.
Anyway, that’s it for now. Will just snarfed his coffee after Steve mentioned how Tina never seems to have any trouble farting, so I’d better get back to it and help him recover. 😉
Author interview on the Awesome Gang site…
I have an author interview up on the Awesome Gang site. You can check it out here.
I’ve updated my press page with this interview, as well as adding a 2015 interview I filled out on Smashwords that I’d forgotten to add on there. Also, I noticed that all my podcast interviews with Wayne Clingman were no longer online, so I removed the links to those. I’d like to once again thank Wayne for doing those interviews with me. He’s truly a wonderful human being.
