It’s been a while since I’ve posted anything on my progress with my rewrite because I’ve been pretty busy writing, rewriting, researching, rebuilding my website, and working in general. I also took some time off from writing for months at a time because of writer’s block and work overload. Over the past few months, however, things have been going smoothly, and I’ve finished the rewrite. I am now making edits based on the feedback from my proofreader. Something else I’ve been working on is a book cover. I’ve come up with a few concepts and feel that the one with Marvin & Tige walking towards the city at night is the strongest.
I don’t know exactly when I’ll be ready to publish, as I’m still looking into the details of how to self-publish. Learning from the mistakes of others will hopefully save me from making poor decisions and costly mistakes. Something I have been learning about recently is marketing. I happen to work for a company that designs websites, and recently my boss has decided to get more involved in marketing and social media. So much so that he’s put together a class for the non-marketing employees to learn and understand the process better. At least I know more about promoting myself now than I did two weeks ago. I’ll be putting my new-found knowledge to work soon.
