Working

I’m a couple thousand words into the new book and I think it’s working. As I said before, it’s a little different from what I’ve written before, at least from the narrator perspective. I think the reason it’s okay so far is because the narrator is a smartass. Like me.

Will this carry a full-length novel? I don’t see why not. I’m not very far into the story, but at least it’s keeping me engaged and wanting to write more. I’ve said this before, but if what I’m writing doesn’t keep me interested then it’s sure not going to keep a reader interested.

I should get the proofs for First sometime in the next couple of weeks. Then I have to figure out how to do some promotion and marketing, not my strong suit. Maybe this weekend I’ll do some research on that. I saw a Facebook ad for a book fair, or author’s show, or whatever they called it, but I don’t think I’ll have book in hand by then. I know there are other options since I”ve seen authors at bookstores, the local flea market, and at the grocery store. Guess I should start making plans. Yes, I know. It’s a little late. All the advice columns say you should plan this stuff out earlier, but it did take until last month to figure out how the books would be published. Lame excuse, but I’m sticking with it.
