Well, my editor is booked for the rest of the month, so this month’s release has been pushed back until August. That’s fine, since it gives me another week to work on the 2nd edit, and I think the story will be improved by an extra layer or two of polish. I’m happy with how it’s coming along, but it can always be better.
I think that’s an important thing to realize, in the grand scheme of things. Stories can always be better, but at some point you have to stop working on them and just move on. In my case, that means self-publishing them in the hopes they can a bit of traction out in the world, and eventually I have enough supporters that I can do this writing gig full-time. In other people’s cases, that means putting them down and working on other projects. No judgment, personally, but I think it’s important to know when to stop and move on, ya know?
Anyway, no luck on the cover art just yet (but now I have another 3-4 weeks before the novel can be published I’m definitely not in a rush). And the weather has been giving me really annoying headaches all week… I assume the storms have something to do with it. Hopefully it will let up soon!
Hope everyone is staying safe and healthy!
