It’s the untold joys and disappointments of the writing lifestyle that I have to get used to. Sometimes you are a cat lying in the sun, sometimes you are dumped in the snow. Sometimes both happen in one day..
On one hand. Got to see the new cover for Dawn’s Early Light. It’s awesome, and come May 29th we’ll be revealing it. Yay!
On the other, trying to get a handle on a new series that I am putting together and finding a home for it. Boo!
On a second hand. The Janus Affair won the Steampunk Chronicles Reader’s Choice Award for Best Fiction. Yay!
On another. Trying to find a home for the book I love set in New Zealand that seems to be a hard sell to America. Boo!
And so on…and so on…
I have to keep reminding myself that in a regular job there are ups and downs to. I am still living the dream of making a living off writing, but I would caution writers hoping to do the same, you’re going to have days like these.
However, on the plus side, I am developing a new historical fantasy series, a new YA series, and a new high fantasy series. At this stage it is up to the point of seeing which one publishers like the look of.
In the meantime, plenty of new short stories coming out, so if you are in the mood for supporting my independent projects, check out Imagine That! Studios offering.
Now, I am off to wrestle with a whole new fantasy world, magic system, and a batch of screaming sisters. Hopefully there are no more cats-dumped-in-the-snow moments…
