Welcome to Day 3!
I actually managed to get some new words down yesterday, I’m excited about where the story is going. I’m hoping to make the story roughly 65 K ish. I’m starting at 16,532, so if I can stay consistent, I should be able to finish this before I go back to work. I’d love to start Book 3 because the characters have been growing in my head, but I also don’t want to rush through this story just to say it’s done. These characters have been in my head for a long time and deserve their story.
I’m really trying to enjoy the writing process and not make myself nuts trying to get stories finished just for the sake of finishing them. I plan on self-publishing this series and it scares that absolute shit out of me. I hate marketing. Like with the heat of a thousand suns hate it. I’m no good at following trends (obviously, that’s why I’m doing a blog, not Book Toc or Book Tube) and it embarrasses the hell out of me to push my own books. Promoting my friends’ books, I’m all in. When it comes to my own stuff, I’d rather eat paint.
I figure if I just focus on writing the books, I won’t have to worry about the publishing process for a while. I’m more than happy to kick that can down the road for a good long time…
