Regular readers of this blog will remember that I wrote
a 72,000 word novel during the first twenty-one days of National Novel Writing
Month (NaNoWriMo). The turnaround time
on this novel was not so great—it took me three months from completion to
publication, which admittedly is shorter than most publishing lead times. I was lackadaisical when it came to editing,
holding off on the business of revisions until January, nearly two months after
it was complete! I at least have a valid
excuse for the slowness of the rest of the project: snow. The
weather has made it very difficult—make that extremely difficult—to get to a
decent internet connection and upload my book.
I also struggled with crafting a cover.
I’m still not one-hundred-percent happy with the covers of “Dark Horse”
or “Cover of Darkness”, but you get what you pay for. And employing myself as a graphic designer is
certainly economical. I have no clue if
the novel is any good, but I enjoyed writing it. As always, readers, I leave my success in
your hands.
