Things are humming along with this first novel in what I hope will be a five novel series. But I’m beginning to grow alarmed at the idea that I’m not taking into account something — even if I sell this series (or just the first book) — there would be a six month to a year delay before the book was actually published.
This is beginning to cause me a great deal of angst.
But I have to press on. At this point, selling any of these novels would be literally the literary equivalent of winning the fucking publishing lottery. However, I see this project as existential for no other reason if I wasn’t working on it, I really wouldn’t doing much of anything else creatively. I would continue do what I did for years and years after leaving Seoul — drift — and I would be in a dark and miserable place.
So, working on five novels it is.
Let’s rock.
