In the Meantime

What to do, what to do…

I’m in that limbo where I’ve queried several independent publishers but probably shouldn’t start writing something new. As soon as I begin a new book that’ll be my focus for a couple of months, whereas if I get the nod from a publisher that’ll be my top priority. Not that I can’t put the writing on hold.

I think my reluctance is that if I do start writing and nothing happens with publishing, I’ll be pleasantly distracted and then it’ll be late summer and I’ll have four books to publish instead of three. I mean, I guess that’s a good problem to have. The alternative is to putter around and make no progress on writing while I wait for responses. Or in what I’m guessing will be the case, non-responses.

I could do what I’ve done before and write a short story in the world of one of my books. Maybe I should do that again since it’s a nice asset to have in my back pocket for someday when I do a mailing list and offer incentives for people to sign up. Yeah, that’s the ticket…
