Finding Time to Write the Sequel by Susan Kaye Quinn, author of Open Minds (Book One of the Mindjack Trilogy) Even before I decided to self-publish my new paranormal/SF novel Open Minds (Book One of the Mindjack Trilogy) , I knew it would be a trilogy. But once I had made the decision to publish, the need to get busy on the sequel(s) kicked into high gear. Except that I was also publishing a book. Most writers find it difficult to balance writing with all the other demands in life. Even people who are lucky enough to write full time (which I am, since I write while my kids are at school), there’s still a tug between writing time and all the other things that need to be done. Once you’re published, this all changes, and not for the better. Now, not only do you need to write and get the kids to school and get the laundry done, but you also need to market your book, which can mean everything from actually getting it published (edits, covers, websites, blogs)
Congratulations, Kai. Looking forward to your tour.
ReplyDeleteThanks a lot, Beverly, and thank you for signing up!
DeleteI will gladly give your new book a shout out. Shoot me the info & give me the dates you'd like it to appear. I usually only post Wednesdays these days.
ReplyDeleteAw, thanks Mary! I'll send you an email.
DeleteOn my Kindle. I'll come back tomorrow and sign up!
ReplyDeleteLol, I have a Kindle reader (not the Fire) so I was like, "Whaaa?" Then I remembered the technological world is light years beyond me. Thanks, Sheri.
DeleteI love it, but find my laptop much easier to access websites.
DeleteI signed up for the cover reveal on my Ashelyn Drake blog since that's my contemporary romance pen name. I'm excited to both see and share it. :)
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh, I'm so excited! What a great fit. Thank you ever so much, Kelly!
