Momentum
This broken bone thing is not great timing. I’m not sure there ever is a good time for a broken bone, but in this case I had built up momentum on The Drop, having released the first two books in the series and about a third of the way through writing the next. As I’ve mentioned in the last week, I put it aside to work on editing First Step since that’s easier to do with one hand. I’d thought about getting a cover made and putting it out before the end of the year, but this unexpected medical expense kind of ruins that. We’ll see how it goes after the surgery. I’m supposed to get a little more mobility back, but I’m also supposed to wear a sling for the next 2-4 weeks so the collarbone can heal. In the meantime, I’ll keep editing First Step so it’s ready when my bank account is.
