This cartoon is me when it comes to
writing my blog. I'm trying to do better about keeping it updated, but
sometimes I don't know what to talk about. I feel like the people who follow my
blog probably follow me on Facebook or Twitter, and already know all
there is to talk about. And sometimes I feel like I'm just repeating myself.
Hey! Building Love is available in
audio!
Hey! I'm almost done with Finding
Jenna!
Sometimes I don't want to talk
about what I'm doing because it might fall through. Several stories I've
started have fizzled out. I'll revisit them at some point and hope that the
original idea will blossom into something, but you never know if they will.
Sometimes I feel overwhelmed by all
I want to do. You know, like write the Suddenly sequel about Jamie and P. J. at
college. I've started that project several times, and I'm not sure why it keeps
getting bogged down. It's been a while since I've worked on it so hopefully it will feel fresh
and new. I'm
going to revisit it next month. I would love to get it done
this year. I know there are a lot of people patiently waiting for it.
The next big goal is to get Finding
Jenna formatted for publication and getting the cover made. I want something
fascinating for the cover. I know what I want in my mind's eye, I just hope I
can find an artist to create it for me.
Marketing Finding Jenna I think is
going to be a challenge. It's not a romance, but it has a love story. It's not
really "lesbian" fiction, but it has lesbians in it. It is a fiction
story about a trans man, but not about how he became a man per se, but it is discussed.
It's not really a mystery, but there's been a murder. I'm thinking it's just
going to fall into an LGBT drama broadly, but how do you market that for
maximum readership?
I'm going to venture out of my
shelf and try some new marketing techniques like holding a launch party and
advertising in places I haven't attempted to advertise it before. So, we'll see
what happens. I have to admit that I'm very nervous about Finding Jenna's
reception. I really ventured out of my usual genre, but I felt compelled to
write the book, so I hope it does well.
I need to find a way to get more
feedback from my fans and readers. I find hearing what people think very
helpful in my creative process. Hopefully, I'll figure out how to reach more
people and get more discussions going about my work, and not just for sales,
but for insight.
Well, looky there. I had more to
say than I thought I did when I started this. Hopefully, you'll have something
to say too.
