Hi @justin, thanks for organizing this #WritersLift! I'm an educator and author based in GA. For over a decade, I've taught sociology online, but my true passion is using writing to explore intersections of social issues, media/tech, and environmental justice.
It’s been quite a ride getting this first Kickstarter out the door. It feels like the hurdle to learning how to self-publish, but all over again. I’m smarter for it, but it’s draining. I’m looking forward to the coming days and weeks seeing how people react to the #Kickstarter and it releases. I really feel like it’s my best work yet.
Has anyone else felt the same releasing a Kickstarter?
Calling all Lit Agents / authors / query-letter writers - I submitted my draft query letter to Reddit for feedback - would you like to give me feedback, too?
Very happy.
Did a sort of draft on the Scrivener corkboard of story ideas. I don't have an exact plan in mind, just sort of go where my characters insist I do. So this corkboard will certainly change - a lot!
I even managed to write 3 chapters.
It's Saturday and my knitting is calling so unless I have some brainwave on the book that I have to get written I'll just enjoy the weekend.
(BTW - I use Scrivener for my writing and only convert it to Word when I send to my publisher.)
I'm trying to resist the temptation to knit for a few days - I need to get back to writing.
I haven't written since my cancer diagnosis except for the edits on the last book.
I'm now determine to write the 5th book in the series and have it to my publisher by the end of the year.
