That's right I have gone from one extreme to the other. I am trying to faithfully put up posts every few days or at least once a week. Rose Berg was a bit of a cheat since I had already begun it. In my defense however I am doing a full remodel on the downstairs.
What a plague, writers have to be real people too. As a result my mind keeps slipping between tales. I have moved past Farmville (my poor virtual cows) and on to reading snips of every story on the Textnovel site, even those I am not interested in. From there I drift between research, obsessively posting mini chapters for the stories I already have started.
Today I spent about three hours reworking cover art. Not that I mind. I only wish that along with the joy of having my stories read that I might be able to pay the bills someday. Then again, when that happens there is always the temptation of artistic compromise. When you're a starving artist you have no such moral qualms. So I suppose I ought to count myself rich. At least for as long as the lights are on and the internet still works. Soon I promise too be back to my impulsive self. Just give me a few more days.
And if you have checked things out already go to the site www.textnovel.com and look me up. I have three stories going presently. They have all had brief mentions in my blog. I am hoping to expand my cyber presence in the future with a facebook page solely dedicated to my writing and separate from my personal page.
I will let you know the name as soon as my head clears to think of one. Hopefully I can be smart from there and use the same name for a web page etc. etc etc. I know along with the joy of writing is the happy burden of marketing myself. I am open to clever suggestions from any of you dear followers (Coralie?)
