How’s it going with one arm, you ask? Getting better. I’m back to typing with two hands, albeit for short spurts. Not quite ready to sit for an hour or more and type on a manuscript draft. This situation lends itself better to editing and that’s what I’ve been doing. I’ve tightened up some scenes and plot points in First Step. I have probably another week of that, at least, at which time I’ll need to give it another complete read to make sure I didn’t mess up anything. I’m still pondering whether I should commission a cover and then go ahead and publish the book to Amazon, or if I should use my prior publisher to do all the formatting and distribution far and wide. The first option is definitely cheaper. And 99% of my book sales have been on Amazon. Still, it’s nice to have the book available everywhere, especially since it’s a sequel to First, which is distributed through all the major and minor booksellers. I still have time to decide. I thought about just doing it now since the holidays are coming up, but I don’t want that artificial deadline to put pressure on me to make a decision I might regret later. For now, I’ll just keep working on making the book better and decide later.
