Week 1

So, we’re already into March and all the madness that brings. For me, the madness started with a stag do (managed to squeeze a parkrun in there), and the last proof-read of Going Fourth. This took up most of my writing time, up until I started editing the issues I found in the last proof which were, thankfully, less than I’d anticipated, though still more than should be in there after Draft whatever-draft-I’m-up-to now.

Week 2

Week 2 of March for me was editing, editing, editing and getting the novel up on to sales portals, which involved a lot of additional formatting work as the format that I had formatted wasn’t the format I thought I’d formatted and I didn’t really realise this until I had to format the format to the correct format on the formatting tool provided. That makes sense, right?

I also spent the week performing a cover reveal countdown of Going Fourth, which you’ll be able to find somewhere on the website and, by now, you’ll be able to find on Amazon. Maybe I’ll post a link.

Either way, by the end of this week, I came away with a revealed cover for the novel and a product that I can sell online. I’d call that a win.

Week 3

What did I even do this week? My writer’s group have been discussing launching an anthology, so with the short-term launch of the book being sorted, I put some focus into generating ideas good enough to get into the anthology. I managed 1000 words by the end of the week, then at the weekend brought the Kenergy to my wife’s first ever half marathon! 

I would like to say the t-shirts weren’t my idea, but that isn’t entirely true…

Week 4

Week 4 a.k.a. the week before the book launch. Insert the dog meme.

The week started off on a really good note, with some great news that I’ve been asked not to share yet (sign up to the mailing list (that I have still yet to work out how to run properly) to find out more). Some more writing of the anthology story, and thinking about how best to promote the book release.

 If I’m honest, I probably could be more pro-active here. I’m hoping you (Yes you!) might be able to help me out. I wrote a little piece about the three key things you can do to help me – see earlier posts. And if you could do any/all of those, it’d help massively (I think – never done this before). Other than that, it’s been a case of posting it out wherever I can and begging people to share the news. 

Please share the news.

Until next time,
