A Series of Wedding Troubles and Other Updates

 

I have exciting news. Or at least I think it is. I finally have a series underway. So far, the first story is drafted, and I’m heading into the final round of edits. The second story is coming together.

As of now, this will be a four-book series. I have tentatively titled this series: Wedding Troubles. These will be stand alone stories that revolve around a wedding theme.

The title of the series is subject to change, but as of now it is the best I can come up with, and I feel it fits the stories I’m writing.

The first story is titled, The Worst Man. You know, instead of the best man in the wedding, this guy, according to the heroine, is the worst man. Still keeping a play on words for weddings, the second story will be titled, The Maid of Dishonor.

I don’t yet have definite titles for stories 3 and 4, but I’ve been noodling things for those stories as well.  

I’ve been putting a lot of work into these stories, and that’s why there has been little activity on here as of late.

Other Updates

I’m still working on updating the things I mentioned in an earlier post. I have a new bio that I feel is better than the others I’ve come up with, but I suppose that is subjective. Writing about myself in the third person really isn’t my thing.

I will start formatting updates to my previous stories soon. I haven’t forgotten about these things; it’s just that I’ve been busy working on these upcoming stories as of late. My goal is to write and publish on a more regular basis, and I feel I might actually get to that point at long last. It’s just taking a bit of time.

I still have a ton of work to do before I release the next story, but as of now I’m hoping to get The Worst Man out by the end of next week, around the 14th or 15th. If for some reason that doesn’t happen, then I will certainly get it out the following week after that. No matter what, it will be out before the end of this month.

Obviously, since I don’t have a timeline for the release of this story, I don’t have one for The Maid of Dishonor yet either. This is another thing I’m going to work on — getting a better timeline of release dates for my stories. As of now, I’ve been taking some time with these stories, hoping to produce better stories. These stories may also end up being longer than many of my previous titles.

Like I said, I’m really excited about these stories, and they have injected new life into my writing ambitions, which I needed. If you read my post Course Correcting a Creative Slump from last year, you know I struggled quite a bit with writing at all. That spilled over into this year after I finished Second Chance in Winter. The same cycle that I talked about in that blog post persisted. I’m hoping that this project will help me break this cycle. I’ve found I do better when I have story ideas waiting in the wings to be written.

After I finish this series, I have at least two more story ideas waiting to be written. So stay tuned for more things to come soon.

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 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!

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...
