General Musings and Thoughts (Patreon)

So, with my business winding down (but not done, ugh. I really want it over and done with), I'm going to go full-time writing next year staring around February or so. Right now, I lose between half to a full day of writing each day, so I hope that output will increase. However, I've noticed even on 'full' days when I have nothing to do at work, I don't increase my output that much. So... who knows.

I've also booked myself into two different conventions next year. One is a writing conference, the second is Dragoncon. I'm debating if I should look into another workshop on 'craft'. While the various online writing exercises and tips are useful (and my editors helpful comments have adjusted some of my writing styles), I still think a well run workshop could help. Then again, spending time and money on those takes away from well, the actual writing.

Other side idea is whether or not I want to try writing a 'proper' short story (one with a proper start, middle and end) to see if I can hawk around for an anthology or magazine somewhere. Of course, doing so takes time, but it might give me more readers which is the point...

Anyway, on the subject of readers, I really need to focus on developing my advertising. I have the advertising tossed up for Facebook and Amazon Ads, but I haven't really delved too deeply into making them work. Blargh...

Lastly, I woke up two nights ago with my brain firing and ended up with a new series idea. I've got a sketch of the series and the game system in place, but I'mg oing to let it cogitate a bit. I might or might not start writing it after the AoB book is done, depending on how fast I get AoB written. I know everyone is anxiously awaiting book 7 (well you guys are, everyone else wants book 6). But, I think the idea I have is a rather unique take and setting. Hee...
