What I’ve been reading: Indie
Author Survival Guide by Susan Kaye Quinn. This book is a compiling of her blog
posts over the years that have to do with Indie Publishing. It is broken into
segments, like a post, making it easy to go right to the part you may need help
with at the moment. Very user friendly and well written.
What I’ve been writing: My
book for NaNo is The Newstead Project from Steven’s perspective, so to prepare
for that I’ve been writing short stories from Steven’s perspective both before
Newstead and during his first 2 years. This has been really helpful in nailing
down his voice.
What’s inspiring me right now:
Because of the extremely dark nature of the book I’m about to write, I’ve been immersing
myself in documentaries/film footage from the Holocaust, the rise of the Third Reich,
etc. Not really fun, but necessary.
What else I’ve been up to: Biting
my nails. Seriously. This waiting
for release day is grueling stuff.
I know I’ve been skimping a bit
on my twelve days till release day, and I apologize for that. I promise on day
twelve (Friday) I’ll have some news that will make up for it.
Relax! Release day will be great.

I've heard of that book before and I need to look into it. I'm grateful that nail biting has never been
ReplyDeleteGood luck with release day - and with your research into such dark stuff. You're right, it IS worth it, even if it's hard.
ReplyDeleteIt's good to study so thoroughly in troubling material if you're going to tap it for your art. That will hopefully lead to more respectful and comprehensive representations.
ReplyDeleteI may miss your Friday news, but I hope it's good. Let your nails go! I'm sure the release will be fine.
