cornerofmadnessHow did it get so late in the day already? How did 3 days whizz by with me doing almost nothing? I didn't even submit one of the stories I wanted to and that is a problem. Rather than what I was going to talk about let me ask a question to those of you who have a newsletter, do you find it helpful? I keep hearing people find beta readers this way and cheerleading etc. I'll be honest I get so many author mailing lists and I read next to none of them so I wonder.
I mentioned yesterday about finding 24K in extra story for my steampunk mystery. Not all of that will be usable and it came from an original fiction bingo prompt community over a decade ago (OMFG) but enough will be. So again, how did I get to this position? Having no one helping to keep me engaged and on track has definitely not help. I have had local groups but that's not anything we ever did. I haven't had that in so long (which is why, I think, it's easier to finish fanfic. It has that built in audience/cheerleading section.
But speaking of readers, I DO have some epubs of my upcoming novel if anyone would like to read a paranormal m/m romance ARC for review. Just PM me.
