I’ve hit the halfway point of The Coral Throne... sort of. Why sort of? Because today I made the decision to increase my wordcount. I took it from 90K to 100K words, which means that my percentage complete dropped. However, I’m still hoping to have this book done this month. It’ll be just like that November book writing challenge that we don’t talk about anymore! I do still think that I can keep this to a two-book series.
No, that is not permission to come and giggle in my general direction if a wild book three appears.
There’s a lot happening this month in addition to writing. The Sea Prince drops next week, and on Sunday the 15th, I’ll be a guest at Spellbound Bookstore for a meet and greet celebrating the book release. (Yes, I know it’s Father’s Day. I just… sort of forgot when I set up the date.) More information on that below.
There’s also a free book promo for the entire month of June! The link is below, and all you need to do to get a selection of free books is sign up for newsletters. If you’re not already subscribed to mine, this is a good way to do it — you get a free book out of it!
If you’ve been around me for long enough, you know that I’m pretty passionate about reminding people with breasts to do your breast exams, and to get your mammograms if you’re in the demographic where that’s recommended. I don’t think I’ve done it in a while, so if you didn’t know that before, that now counts as your thing you learned today. Part of the reason for this is genetics — I am at a higher risk for breast cancer (and two other cancers besides.) I get monitored regularly, and my annual breast MRI was two weeks ago… and they found something. Biopsy scheduled for one week later, and I spent the entire week repeating the mantra of “It’s NOTHING!”
And it was nothing — when they did the MRI to map out the needle placement for the biopsy, whatever it was that they saw the previous week was gone. I’ve been telling people that I manifested “IT”S NOTHING!” so hard that whatever it was vanished.
Don’t take that risk, though. If you’re supposed to get your annual testing done, schedule it. It could save your life.
And there’s my soapbox for this week. Back to writing!
