Starting very soon, I’m going to bounce back and forth between transforming the private beta of my first novel into the public beta and working on fleshing out the other five novels in this projected six novel project.
But for the fact that a really good scifi novel that I came up with had the same basic premise as “Wool,” I would be working on that instead. I have two other solid scifi ideas rolling around in my head, but I’m going to work on the mystery-thriller series for the time being.
I just need to reflex for a few days before I try to review the private beta of the first novel. I started doing that, only to realize that I had read it so many times — especially the first 30,000 odd words — that I was too tempted to just say “It’s good enough.”
I need to be able to read the novel with cold, clear eyes so I see mistakes before they get into the public beta.
All I can say is I’m really doing all of this without any — ANY — fucking support or emotional support. It’s going to be pretty funny when all these people who don’t believe in me are forced to realize they mistook me talking about writing a novel all the time for me not actually putting in the hard work.
Ha! I’m well on my way to proving that THEY are the fools in this particular scenario.
