One goal for this quarter was to finish the novel Outlaw
Born. Progress so far is good. There was a pause as life frustrations and plot
issues arose. There was a bit of backtracking and changing. Ended up painfully deleting
a chapter but Ben is back to robbing trains and making life hell for Hammond
Rail. Don’t you love a man in a black hat, fast hands, with a six gun strapped
at his hip?
Now goal is getting him finished and pubbed by October. Yeah,
I know it’s only two months away and that’s wishing for a lot there but hey I
might find a genie in a lamp!
On other goals, school is kicking along. I’m doing well and
maintaining my 4.0 (holy cow is that really me? The C girl in high school?) The
de-clutterization is going well too. There have been a few boxes filled with things
ready to be adopted to new homes. Want some junk?
Now for the secret… The Author’s Secret. They are a company owned
and operated by the fantastic Kayelle Allen. The Author’s Secret provides services
to authors such as ebook formatting
and conversion, book covers for both ebook
and print, banners, avatars, social media graphics, book trailers, blog
headers, Facebook covers and so much more.

Do you have a secret that keeps you on the goal track? Or an author tip to share?
You can do it! I am sure you will be able to make your publishing goal.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with 'Outlaw Born'! My author tip is to schedule writing time each day, but also take some time out to go for a walk. This freshens up the mind and often inspires new ideas!
