Isolation, Day 11: Delays Are Inevitable

Well, my editor politely messaged me to ask if she could have more time to work with the new novel. No worries on my part, since she is suddenly having to deal with two kids and a husband sharing her working space. A little extra time to publish won’t hurt me, and it will help her.

Means all you good folk will probably have to wait an extra week or so for the book to be available on Amazon, but I hope that’s okay! And it gives me more time to work on my current novels so that one of them is ready to go by the summer (I’m thinking it’ll be the next Tintian novel, since that one is currently flowing better). 10k words on the first draft done in the last 3 days, which is a pace I really hope I can keep up or improve in the short term! 30 days for a novel sounds quick, but since this is a lovely, extended period of time where I don’t have other pressing concerns, I really need to make the most of it!

In other news, happy with that progress, and getting some feedback on a silly little story I wrote for the podcast I contribute to. Still planning on doing 2 or 3 more quick little stories for them, but the priority right now are the novels. If i want to get 4 done this year (and I do!), I really need to keep the foot on the pedal.

Anyhoo! Nothing else really major going on in my life at the moment. I think tonight we’re going to watch some Shaun the Sheep episodes, which will be nice! And I think I may make perogies for dinner. It’s a hard-knocked life, I tells ya.
