Update and Things That are Coming Soon

The other day I noticed I hadn't posted anything since mid December. Where has the time gone? Wherever it has gone, it went without me.

So I thought I'd take some time to post a quick update on things.

First off, I have a new story almost ready. Again, this story took longer than it should have, but at least it's getting done at long last. My hope is to have it out by the end of this month. If it's not out by then, I should have it out around the beginning of March for sure. I've put it as a priority in my life at the moment.

I suffered more tired spells and joint pain (symptoms of Lyme Disease) in January and again the beginning of this month. But the past two weeks I finally feel better. The six month mark for me and the Lyme Disease would have been at the end of January. So I'm hopeful, that maybe at long last, I am finally past that. All I know is it has been great to have some energy again and not be tired all the time.

What else you ask? Well, glad you asked. 😀

Since my energy has returned, I have been trying to develop a plan to get more stories written this year and to stop lollygagging around with my fiction writing. I have another story in the works, and I haven't forgotten about the Beach story that I mentioned in my last post.

Also, I'll most likely make some changes to this site in the near future, along with a few other changes. Like my Zetta Hunt logo that appears on Goodreads, Amazon and my About page on this site.

During my tired spells back in January and at the beginning of this month, I tried to determine the path I wanted my writing to take. I'm talking over all, and not just with these stories. I'd like to write in other genres, and other subgenres of romance. However, I determined if I want to make any real progress I'm going to have to narrow my focus for the time being and stick with what I decide.

I decided that I want to focus on short romance stories like I've been writing under this pen name.

My last couple of stories haven't been quite as steamy as I would have liked, so I'm going to work on that after this next story that's almost finished. Because I love me some steamy stories.😍

I've also been exploring ways to be more productive and keep this a priority in my life. Also, coming up with ways to keep going when life throws me a curve ball like it did last summer with Lyme Disease and last winter when I had some issues with an aging family member.

The only thing left is to make all this happen and get in a routine to get the work done. So keep checking back as there should be plenty of activity around here in the near future. I'll post a cover reveal when I get that far and should have a better idea when the story will be released by then also.

Subscribe by Email is Going Away. . . For Now

When I first set up this site, FeedBurner had a nice subscribe by email option built into the site. I really appreciated it. FeedBurner was by no means perfect, but then again, nothing is. Google eventually shut down the subscribe by email part of FeedBurner. Like many other bloggers, I searched for a replacement. Like many others, I opted to go with follow.it for this service. Again, this was not a perfect option, but let’s go back to nothing is perfect. With follow.it, they placed ads in the emails, which were not too obtrusive. I figured I could live with this for now. If I gained more subscribers, I’d either go for a paid version of follow.it to remove the ads or something else. I always subscribe to my own blog so that way I can monitor things and make sure they work. I also subscribe to a few other bloggers who use the same service. A few months ago, I noticed that instead of putting my post content in the email, follow.it instead sent a link to click on to read the post. I...

A Notebook of Productivity - An Attempt to Get It Together

I’m always struggling to get my shit together and be more productive in life. Most especially my writing. If you’ve followed this blog for any length of time, then you already know this. I’ve talked about this in several posts on this blog. Back in May , I wrote a post about all the things I was working on. As always, I got lazy and didn’t really work on any of it. It was also back in May when I came up with the idea for my latest story, The Worst Man. That story sort of took my attention over everything else I was planning on doing, like learning how to build eBooks without an online converter, and other things I talked about in that post. As a result, when it came time to publish that story, I yet again used the Reedsy editor to convert my story to ePub. Which is fine. I love the Reedsy converter, and I was even thinking that maybe I’d just stick with it. Except when I went to do the final conversion, there was a hiccup on Reedsy’s side of things, and I didn’t get my ePub to co...

A Valentine's Gift Coming This Weekend

I’ve been trying to stay warm these past two weeks since we’ve had another one of those polar vortex things in my part of the world. In trying to do so, I’ve been hard at work on the next story in my Wedding Troubles Series. As of now, I’m not sure when I’ll get this story out, but it's coming along and I’m making lots of progress. During all this cold and snow, I thought of Valentine’s Day. Since I write romance, I figured this was a good time of the year to offer a little gift to everyone. So be sure to check back on Friday to see what it is!
