Dreams on Hold

 


They say there is a time and place for everything. Sadly no just isn't the right time to chase this dream. Hopefully the economy will get better and I will be able to have the free time again to work on my writing. Right now I need to pick up a second job on top of everything I am already doing to help cover expenses. Ideally this only last for about six months, but I don't know for sure.


The dream is there. It isn't dead it is just on hold once again.

Worried for Nothing?

  Recently I was struggling worried,  Am I Cut Out to be an Indie Author?   Last week I started writing a new story since I was really struggling with the last concept that I had. In my first week of writing I wrote 20,000 words! That is insane, I didn't even know I was capable of putting up those types of numbers.  I doubt this pace is maintainable but maybe I can get my number of books released per year up to four after all and cut the time to get to 20 books down from 10 year to 5 years.  I am going to keep pushing through and try not to stress too much. I still think waiting until I have a few books ready to release before putting anything out is a good idea. That way I get into the habit and mindset of written without an expectation of return on investment.

Ups and Downs to word count

  The first seven days of writing my new story I put down 23,000 words. Then a lot of life happened and I had four straight days of 0 words. Thankfully I had been crushing it that first week and am still where I need to be a with the stretched goal pass of 1,500 words a day.  Before I was excited by just how much I was able to get done and was even think that I may be able to finish faster than the 54 day stretch goal. That was always a miracle goal though. My reasonable deadline for myself is 90 days. This way I can write three books a year and use the remaining days on editing and marketing.  I am learning to be patient with myself and that my production isn't always going to be linear.
