I think I've finally fallen into a pattern with my writing and when the best time to do it...around 7pm. I can't do writing during the daytime, as I have said before because that's my time to get chores, errands and yard stuff done, not to mention . . . my time!
I will say this, writing is fun, especially now. Writing historical fiction is more work than what I thought it would be, but I wouldn't change my mind on doing it. I am finding that this is the best piece ever out of the seven books that I have already written.
I see the end of this first book coming, but it's hazy. Like in a fog. Not quite there. I don't want to rush it, otherwise, it'll sound rushed, but my deadline is coming around, and whenever I submit my manuscript in for review, that is when my work is the hardest.
Now, Createspace has given all our books over to KDP (Kindle Direct Publishing) and I've been hearing horrors stories about how difficult it is to get a book published with them. I'm starting to wig out here. Especially when I'm working with an author who I design book covers for, and she has had nothing but difficulties with KDP. From the font, I chose to the spine not being wide enough. It's a nightmare I tell ya!
Anyway, I've been also taking day trips. My husband and I decided not to take a long vacation. Just not in the mood. So, we've planned to do some day trips around Michigan and Wisconsin. Go to places we've already been to, but really love going. For example, St. Joseph Michigan. My all-time favorite place. The shops are quaint, cute and the restaurants are all good. The beach there is very clean and beautiful, but you have to walk a long way to get to it if you park in town.
So, I did write two more chapters, 14 and 15 and like I said before, things are getting tense for Elspeth and her family. Not sure how I want to do this, but, I'm sure my muse will help me along. Has never failed me yet.
Goodnight whoever you are!
