Something I’ve been wanting to do for a while is calling to me in a very real way and I’ve decided it’s time to refocus my efforts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you\u2019ve been following these (mostly) weekly updates, you know I\u2019ve been shopping around a Dystopian horror<\/strong> novel, finishing the sequel to The Bone Key<\/strong>, working on various novellas<\/strong> and the short story collection<\/strong> for years. None of these projects have homes yet. I don’t have any upcoming projects with publishers, but that doesn’t mean I don’t have something in the works. Multiple things. And it\u2019s time I really focused my intentions on getting these projects out to readers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n So from now forward, I’m working towards self-publishing collections and novellas<\/strong>. It’s an incredibly huge undertaking so luckily I found a few resources that will help me to get organized and keep track of everything I need to do. But my intention right now is to write the first draft of the novella by the end of the year<\/strong> and then starting in January I’ll be working towards self-publishing both the novella and my first collection<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I’m pretty excited about all this, even as I stare down the schedule I made for myself and realize it’s going to take a lot of work to get it done. But I’ve been talking about it for so many years and after seeing a few friends who are continually working their own self-publishing efforts, it’s really inspired me to just finally take the plunge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I’ll be sharing my adventures along the way so I hope you’ll continue to follow me as I take this next step in my writing career.<\/p>\n\n\n\n And thanks for your continued support<\/strong>! It helps keep me motivated and determined to bring you more of my work!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Something I’ve been wanting to do for a while is calling to me in a very real way and I’ve decided it’s time to refocus my efforts.
