A few weeks of programming epubs for the iBookstore and .mobi files for the Kindle store were distracting, and felt very non-productive. Even more distracting was the last week, waiting for sales of my books listed at Amazon. I've read the warnings of bloggers and self-publishing pundits. Nevertheless, once you put a book (or four in my case) out there, you can't help but have expectations.
Today was a day of inspiration, however, that pulled me out of self-doubt and back into full, excited writing mode. I'm working on a new series. I decided to put Socialite to bed for a few months. I have enough notes so that when I decide to write Socialite 2, it will flow really quickly. But instead of working on that right now I wanted to get this nagging second series out of my head and into pages (mac users will understand). I actually was going to write this murder mystery series first. Then last February, the whole plot of the sixteen book Socialite series just presented itself in my mind and I started writing. The songs for that book came really quickly as well, so I knew that I had to complete Socialite 1 before I could work on this second project.
Finished two chapters today and have the first third of the book mapped out in a spreadsheet (Numbers, not Excel, of course). I'll write another post soon to update everyone on my progress.
