Last month I said that this progress report would come out right after the convention.
I lied.
Or was confused.
Anyway, I’m currently up to my eyeballs in convention planning and packing.
I’ll tell you all about it sometime next week in a special post.
Progress? Has there been any progress? There should be, I’m sure. Let me just check… um… hang on a moment… I’m sure there’s been some around here somewhere. I mean I’ve been busy all month.
All kidding aside, I have made some progress on A New Romance, but not as much as I would like. I’ve been working on the cover art because I’m still waiting on one last Beta reader to finish.
Hey folks, let’s get real for a moment. Indie publishing isn’t a get-rich-quick scheme. It’s more like a maybe-you’ll-get-a-fancy-coffee-drink-once-in-a-while scheme. That’s why so many Indie Authors also have a day job (cue the scary music). Well, I don’t have one of those either. I used to.

I am currently in the absolute worst part of writing. Waiting for my Beta readers to get back to me. I said I needed it by this week, so of course they’re going to squeak in under the deadline.
Not all of them. I have two back, and two out. Three is the minimum for me to have confidence in their advice. Beta readers don’t always agree with me about how the story should go.
Oh my gosh it’s February already. Here I am still working my way through all the stuff that needs to happen to get New Romance out to all of you. For now that means biting my nails while the beta readers have a go at it. I’m working on the cover design and hope to have a cover reveal soon.
In the meantime, I’m also fretting about how to keep my life together,
