Coming soon, notes from the writing life

[pbray]

Yesterday I sent my editor the opening chapters of THE FINAL SACRIFICE (book 3), along with my suggestion for which scene we should pick for the teaser that will be included at the end of THE SEA CHANGE. As a marketing idea, it's great. As an author who still has major chunks of the novel to write, it's a tad scary, knowing that whatever scene is chosen must somehow make it in to the final book, regardless of how the story changes between now and final revisions.

With that said, I need to get cranking on the new book, so I've joined novel_in_90. How can I resist a community that has "We Will Mock You" t-shirts? The community is open to all, and the next 90 day challenge officially starts June 1st. Folks can join now, and start warming up.

Oh, and in the SHINY! category, I received two copies of the bound ARC for THE SEA CHANGE. Later this month I'll be raffling one off--details will be posted here and on my website.

Thinking about it, even though early summer is my fave time of year and the outdoor work is plentiful.

Need to sell the damned thing first...

>>Need to sell the damned thing first...

That's always an important step in the process for me :-)

I'm going to try something new and try writing before work each day. Not a natural morning person, so we'll see how this goes.
