I've been thinking through the Great Novel Challenge that I mentioned last week. Not ready to put any money down toward that right this moment, because I have other cash flow items I need to focus on at the moment.
BUT I am going to get started on that basic principle of the challenge anyway. So the goal will be to do 5,000 words toward a novel each week, in addition to the weekly short story. That will get me the 40,000 words toward a novel every two months that the Great Novel Challenge requires.
I'll report on how that goes each week as I make this report.
We'll see how this goes, eh?
Until next time! :)
I'm participating in the Kick-Ass Divas Of SciFi promotion through Bookfunnel this month. Jo, the Captain of the Pericles, is a kick-ass lady, and she insisted on participating. So we're in, and we discounted The Pericles Conspiracy from its usual $5.99 to $2.99 for the rest of the month.
There are 18 other writers also participating. So go to the promotion page and check out their stuff, and mine, then make many purchases. If you do, we'll love you long time. ;)
Go!
Go Now!
And enjoy.
If you enjoy my work and wish to help me continue creating fun stories, consider becoming a supporting patron here on the website. Just a few dollars a month will go a long way toward enabling me to produce more great works for your enjoyment.
And don't forget to sign up for my newsletter, to stay informed of new releases and special deals. Guaranteed to be spam free, and I won't share your information with anyone without a court order.
