Giving Up, But Only Temporarily

I’ve decided that I can't work on two books at once. While And Then You Dance is finished, I have a lot of work to do to get it ready for a December 1 release. I’ve been trying to work on book three in the midst of it, and it just isn’t working. 

So, unfortunately, I’m abandoning NaNoWriMo this year. At least until I’ve got ATYD ready to go, the promotions in place, etc. If I let go of book three, maybe I’ll be able to focus and just get it done, rather than sitting in the midst of analysis paralysis on both books.

On top of that, I’m working on an upcoming promotion for And Then You Fall . . . talk about feeling as though I have multiple personalities. From day to day I can’t remember whether I’m in Ben and Liv’s story, or Billy and Renie’s story, or the new story, whose MMC seems to change with the weather. And Colorado weather changes a lot in November.

It won’t be forever, just a couple of weeks, then I’ll be back at it, writing up whoever’s story it ends up being. Right now the action in the story is taking place at Thanksgiving, so in two weeks I’ll definitely be in the mood to move them into Christmas. 

See? You can spin anything you want in a positive direction if you try hard enough.
