January 14, 2019: Week two of hearing great reviews from Blood Money, and while I’m enjoying the praise, I’m also feeling the pressure of finishing book number two in the series. Will it deliver? Will people come away feeling book two wasn’t as good as the first? Which came first, the chicken or the egg? But then, I digress…sometimes just to stop fretting over the fact I spent almost the entire weekend NOT writing. So much depends on whether or not Alex and whoever move forward with their lives (and no, I’m NOT answering any of your questions!) while leaving my readers feeling pumped and wanting more. The pressure is real, folks; but I need to take my own advice: BIC and Write The @#$% Book! Here are some hints I hope helps me do just that. The rule of threes: Set aside some specific time each day/week. Be committed to work on a specific number of pages each session. Get the story on paper, revise later. With that in mind, “I hope To Be Half-finished By Friday.” That could be the title of a hit song. Hmmm…maybe I’ll add song writing to my repertoire. (I told you I digress…)
