I’m about to be published!!! I wrote before about working with a friend on a story for an anthology that another friend had invited me to contribute to. We turned it in at the beginning of the month and the last few weeks have been focused on edits, marketing, and pinching myself to see if I’m dreaming. Order our Gothic Romance anthology Slightly Sweetly, Slightly Creepy now!
The other crazy thing? I’ve started an author site. I decided that this blog is not the right place to direct readers of my fiction, so I created a new one. That one can be found at www.nicoleherronwrites.wordpress.com.
I’ve only gotten an introduction and a review post up so far, but I’d like to try to do something weekly over there. Yes, I know I also should be better about writing here. I’ve started really enjoying spending time working at a quiet table at the library, so I feel like it’s a doable task now that the book is coming out.
I’m a creature of routine, so I’m thinking that if I make plans to work at the library most week days I can designate a day for each type of writing. One (or more) day for this blog, one for the author blog, one for fiction, etc. I’ll have to think on it a bit more, but I hope I’m able to be a bit more consistent. I think it will help me to feel more grounded and productive. One of the conversations we continuously return to in therapy is my needing to feel like I have a purpose and lately I’ve felt somewhat adrift. I really hope that this can help me find my direction.
Of course, it will be summer soon and that will send all semblance of routine flying out the window! But here’s hoping I can find a way to keep writing throughout the summer too.
