I’m off for a writing retreat tomorrow, so I’m coming to you live from Sunday night this week. I’m hoping to get some quality words written. I’ve pretty much admitted to myself that there’s no way that I’ll be getting 50K words written in 15 days. It’s not happening. So I’ll be continuing writing into July, until this book is done. My incentive for getting to a complete draft as soon as I can? A stack of books that keeps growing.
This past week was full, and the upcoming week promises to be just as busy. Today I had a Meet and Greet at the local indie bookstore, and it was awesome. I adore the Spellbound Bookstore, and I love having events there. If you’re in Sanford, Florida, be sure to check them out (they’re about a mile and a half from the Autotrain station, so if you’re taking the train north, hit the bookstore for some reading material!) There are three copies of The Sea Prince at Spellbound, so you can grab a copy if you stop in.
And for our next event? Saturday the 21st is the Enchanted Knights Summer Solstice Faire at the Oviedo Mall. It’s a Renn Faire, but with AC and no mud! Win! (Unless you like the mud, in which case… sorry. No mud.) I’m not sure where we’ll be this time, but as soon as I know, I’ll post it in my socials. I still have to draw out the changes to my display, because we have shelves now. Something to do when I have a brain break at the retreat, I suppose?
As much as I enjoy shows and meeting readers, I do have to say that I am very much looking forward to June 30th, when I will be able to start focusing completely on finishing this book (once I do my quarterly taxes and reset my kanban board for Q3, that is.) I want to see how The Coral Throne ends! (I mean, I know how the outline says it ends, but we all know that outlines and my writing brain don’t always agree on what is actually going to happen in a story.)
My brain has stopped. Time for me to get some sleep. Must sleep to make words!
