I'm telling myself that as much as announcing it to the world. It's been such a long time since I've done any writing other than blogging or Bay articles, and there is so much I could be doing.
There's the ghost-written memoir, finished, just needs signing off by the subject. Must nag him.
I have two completed novels I could read and edit/submit/self-publish.
I have three self-published novels I could be promoting/marketing. Absolutely rubbish at this part of the job.
I am in the middle of another novel in my usual writing style and a thought has occurred to me to begin it again and write it in a completely different way. This is the thought that has taken up residence in my brain currently.
Also mustn't forget that I am talking about Zac's next week so need to prepare for that.
So I'll go and do some gardening now and have a think.

Very few writers are good at marketing themselves, artists, too. Good for you for today's post! I used to know a sculptor who said she'd forced herself to attend to the business of art at least once a week, because she kept not doing it. It feels like a waste of studio time.
I'm going to look you up now.
I write a blog. No more can I do. 😊
You are most definitely a writer!
Marketing isn't for everyone, myself included. As a tutor, I gladly sign away 25% of my earnings to the "matchmakers".
Well, winter is coming. That's a good time to busy yourself with writing and marketing. No nice weather or fun outside activities to distract you!
That sounds like the solution I would come up with.
I wrote a few chapters of a novel. One isn't too bad. I haven't worked on it in years, so you're way ahead of me. I'd like to write about being a caregiver, but as soon as I drift away from the funny, happy stories, people become upset. They don't want to know about the reality of bed sores, dementia, and flu spreading like wildfire in nursing homes.
Love,
Janie
