Something’s Gotta Go

November 28, 2011 by laurenwaters

I hope everyone enjoyed their holiday of severe gluttony and copious quantities of pumpkin pie! (Yes, it tastes especially delicious with a cup of coffee in the morning.)

So, I’m rushing to get my sequel out in early January, when all the new kindle owners are desperate to grab up inexpensive ebooks. Problem is, I have a full-time job (mama), it is my sole responsibility to decorate and shop for Christmas presents (I deck the halls hardcore), ugh, I need to send out hundreds of Christmas cards, I’m still trying to get the edits done on my ms, and I attempt to write three blogs a week.

I’m beginning to worry that I just won’t get it all done. So what’s got to go?

Well, I’ve decided I just can’t keep blogging three times a week. I need to completely focus on perfecting this book and, after it’s out to the formatter, I can revive the blog again. I will keep checking in occasionally with big news, but otherwise, I hope all you guys have a productive December and feel free to keep emailing me questions if you need some advice. (I always have time for that.)

Tata!

  Thanks Dave! I will need luck if I’m attempting to get my sequel out. Your blog looks fantastic. I’m following now 🙂

lauren…lol, thanks. You’re follower #4…first compliment, thank you very much. I put it up awhile ago, haven’t posted that much obviously, wondered why I had no followers so have been sprucing it up.

How has “Infinite Sacrifice” been doing?

  Infinite Sacrifice had a good start but is now slow. I’m waiting on lots of reviews and I think I might try to make it free before I release the sequel. That might get things going.
  
  I found that posting up on Kindle Boards, Absolute Write, and Nathan Bransford’s forum every time I had an interesting blog post really attracted attention to my blog.

Your house will look wonderful with all of those decorations up! Thank you for offering to be of service during the busy month of December. I might come up with a question or two. 😉

All the best with writing your sequel!
