It's been a while

Hi everyone!

It's been a while since I wrote on my blog. I guess things have been busy in my "real" life. I'm in a relationship now, (6 months!), my best friend just had a baby, and general work life has been keeping me busy. I'd love more time to write and promote my work but as my mam always said, beggars can't be choosers.

The Synergy Series is all done and dusted and 'Phenomenon', my sci-fi book, is coming along okay. I haven't dedicated much time to it recently but I'm 25 chapters in. I've given what I've written so far to my sister on a kindle copy and she's been busy reading and sending me feedback. I am slightly worried that she's going to go full Annie Wilkes on me, strapping me to a bed and forcing me to rewrite, though. The last scene she read didn't particularly go down well!

Tonight, I paid an editor to take a look at 'Dorm Room', the New Adult Novella I've been sitting on for a while. I love the premise of the story but I'm aware it may need a good pulling apart, and I'm fine with that. It's the part I hate the most about writing but it's gotta be done.

I'll leave it there for now but it's good to be blogging again!

Smashwords Premium Catalogue

Accepted! Finally!

Smashwords has been an absolute nightmare for me this week. I read everything you could read on formatting for Smashwords, convinced it couldn't be that hard, that I could do it myself. I definitely couldn't. Finally, I succumbed to paying someone on people per hour, and after days of back and forth messages, I'm in the premium catalogue.

I can't even tell you how relieved I am, because it was really starting to annoy me. Generally, you'd view Amazon as a bigger company than Smashwords, yet their formatting is so much simpler. I don't understand.

Part 2 of Synergy is getting closer to the end, and I'm eager to finish it so I can go back through and edit. I recently wrote my most favourite chapter to date, and I'm loving how Dee and Jason's journey is going. I already know there's going to be at least a third book, because their story is still not told, that's for sure.

I finished shift 4 of 8 at work today, so I'm relaxing with a well deserved glass of wine now. Unfortunately, it means I'm not going to get much writing done next week either, but what can you do.
