I feel like life has recently sped up. Between my kids's activities, church activities, and family celebrations, my time is scheduled most days pretty tightly. When I actually have some "free time", I need to spend it working on cleaning the house which has gotten behind because I've been busy the other days and not home long enough to actually clean.
Which leaves me with the question, when do I get a chance to write? The answer is, not often. I will on occasion find thirty minutes at a time where I can write for a while. It seems like I have just enough time to get invested in what I'm writing and then it's time to go to some appointment or another. I pull myself reluctantly away from the computer and promise myself that I'll find more time later. It's just so difficult to actually find that time.
Of course, this year I set the most difficult goal for myself thay I ever have before. I will definitely publish the final book of the KW Consulting series in September. I was hoping to get another Christmas novella done by Thanksgiving, but that is the least important goal to me right now. What I would love to be able to do is publish the first book of my next series by the beginning of 2016! To write two full novels and a novella in one year may be a bit much for me to bite off, but I'm going to see what I can do. Hopefully things will settle down and I'll start being able to write for more than half an hour at a time.
I have started writing the final book of the KW Consulting series and I'm excited to see more of Isabelle. She's always been such a fun character and I've been excited for her to finally get her turn in the limelight. I have to admit to being surprised by some of the events happening to some of the other consultants as well, in particular to Mark and Georgia. The newlyweds have an interesting road ahead of them. I can't wait to see where it takes them.
I have an idea for my next series and I'm so excited about it. I think it's going to be a lot of fun! I'm not ready to let anyone in on the details quite yet, but it's been toying around in my mind for a while now and I sometimes get itchy to start it.
When I go a long time between writing, my brain is still writing and sometimes I just feel like if I don't sit down and write something soon, I'm going to burst! I have all these stories bouncing around in my mind just begging to be released onto paper (or in my case, into an ebook). The longer I go between writing sessions, the more my mind is filled with stories and not only the one I'm working on, but the one I want to write after that and the one after that. Sometimes even the series after the next series. The more I write, the more ideas I have to write.
So until I can find time to sit down regularly and write, I suppose I'll just keep writing stories in my head until they can be released. In the meantime, I hope that you've had a chance to read Brooke's story in Dress for Success. If you have, I would like to encourage you to write a review for me on Amazon. Even if you didn't care for it, please review the book because that also helps me know where I need to improve as an author.
