It’s been a couple of months since I wrote a blog post that wasn’t just a new release, or a bunch of book promos. Life got a little bit insane for a while, and I neglected the blog to take care of other things.<\/p>\n
Life is still pretty crazy, but it’s starting to fall into more of a routine. Thankfully, even though I dropped the blog for a while, I’m still writing\u2014in fact, I’m writing more than ever. A couple of weeks ago, I wrote the first draft of Gunslinger to the Galaxy,<\/strong> and I should be finishing up with the revisions in the next couple of days.<\/p>\n Also, I started work on Queen of the Falconstar,<\/strong> a bridge novel between Sons of the Starfarers and Gaia Nova. This is my first real attempt at making a detailed outline, and if the outline turns out to be true, it will be my longest novel yet. The deadline is February 2nd, 2019, and I hope to do three revision passes as I write it.<\/p>\n It’s all very organized, which is a relatively new thing for me, since I always used to think of myself as a “pantser” or “discovery writer.” But my opinions on that whole paradigm have changed, which will soon be the subject of a lengthy blog post.<\/p>\n I also ran my first BookBub promotion last week, with some pretty incredible results. I definitely hope to do some more promotions with them in the future. Retooling things to make that possible.<\/p>\n So that’s what I’ve been up to. I’ve got a new release scheduled for every month from now to December 2019, with all-new full-length novels to come out every four months for the forseeable future. My writing schedule is booked from now to May 2020. Again, it’s all very organized, and that organization is starting to bear fruit. Now I just need to make more time to read, seeing as I have a tendency to acquire books faster than I can read them. Also, it would be fun to post some book reviews.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
