I have been thinking about promo lately. Or more correctly, my brain decided to throw out one for Daughter of the Dark yesterday, which… I loved. It is short, and teasery without being spoilery. I am planning on using it for promo, mainly on Twitter. The plan is to either create promo graphics or pay my cover designer to do them. Or both. Before I start doing promo I need to overhaul the blurb. sigh. And probably proofread the book,…
So I think I haven’t talked about my plans for 2020. I have mentioned it on Twitter, but not in detail. Since Twitter in a fast moving venue, I wanted to have it somewere more stable. The plan is simple. (Caveat: This might change, depending on what happens with my dayjob.) *Publish Vanished. *Publish Daughter of the Dark in print. (Which involves lightly editing it, since I hsve grown as a writer since I wrote it: I was also dealing…
Since I am editing Vanished right now, I thought I would offer you an tiny excerpt of how the book begins. While there will be some changes, they will probably be minor. And yes, the book has a 2020 release date, though I haven’t decided exactly when, or if I am doing a pre-order or not.. A knock echoed in the small cottage. With a sigh, I stopped putting away the groceries, and took a step toward the door. “Finish…
So I had an wonderful christmas, that was mostly spent away from the internet. Which was glorious. I read lots of books, ate good food, played with my nephews (especially the oldest one, since we spent New Year and a whole weekend together, talked with my siblings, met family I don’t see ofte,, ate tasty food. Mmmm.. I hope you had a wonderful holiday too, with family, and friends, and tasty food and laughter and memories. And if you wasn’t……
So if you follow me on social media, you will have noticed that I have mentioned that my dayjob is laying off a lot of people.. and I am one of them, I found out a couple of weeks ago. I have no idea what will happen, to be honest. A lot of the discussion is happening without me, which why I am so glad I am member of the union. Otherwise… no one would fight for me. And people…
So years ago, I bought a book on a whim. I bought it, since it seemed interesting. The years passed, and I kept the book, but I didn’t read it. Too busy with life, with other books. But when I sat down to work on the notes for the next portal justicar book, I knew it was time to read it, and some other books in the TBR pile. And then, I couldn’t find it. I knew it was here,…
So I finished the rewrite, a couple of weeks ago I think. Then I firmly took a week off from writing, since I had earned it. (Also, because I managed to hurt my shoulder.) It was a good timing, though, since family from other parts of Sweden was coming to Stockholm. Which was fun. And then dad had some health issues, which scared everyone and was less fun (When my sister called, I thought she was calling to schedule the…
Soon… I will be finished with this book. Which I have been saying since July, but I mean it this time. Now, it depends on how you define soon. Will it be this weekend? Errm. Probably not. Will it be next weekend? Maybe. Will it be before October? Definitely.
I am still not done with the second draft on The Shifter’s Justice, which is a bit frustrating. I am in the last chapter, though, so yay for that. My friend RJ has posted on a Facebook about her experiment with doing 15 minutes sprints, she has found that successful and effective. Not to mention it lowers her stress. So today I decided to try that as well, though I just worked on one book. And… it worked really well…
So I basically decided that today needs a list, since I have a lot of things to do. Do laundry. Hang laundry (I am experimenting with letting it dry in the living room.) Make the bed Book Dishwasher installation (They are coming next friday, since I don’t want to loose a full day on waiting for them to show up. Yay!) Pick up things from the seamstress Pick up online order Pick up things Catherine S sent me (since I…
