Ready for beta readers for the third book in a series. For those of you who write series where each book builds on the next and are meant to be read in order, what do you do if you lose your beta readers? How do you find new ones? It's a much bigger ask if they need to read three books!
Just sent out “Rising Resistance" to beta readers! So glad to have revisions off my plate. It's always the slowest part of writing for me. I don't dislike it, I add a ton of material, but it's a slog.
Attention, Brandon Sanderson fans! Your mission, if you choose to accept it, is to put me in the position to write full-time by turning me into a multi-millionaire. This post will NOT self-destruct in 5 seconds. 😎 @bookstodon
1/3 Yesterday I annoyed you enough with politics. You know how it is: social media as an outlet when your insides are one big facepalm (bad to do that). 😎 Today I'm doing self-care. I'm sitting by a south-facing window, letting the new snow 😭 shine on me and scripting my podcast on an old laptop without an internet connection.
2/3 I had 3 hours of crazily intensive #writing ... on good old paper listening to Pink Floyd. It helped me to imagine my inner 3-D map of the podcast. I feel my podcast in 3D with multiple landscape-like layers of sounds. Therefore, the script has different colours.
I'm sure now that the next episode will be exciting!
Disadvantage: I have to type it all up. Advantage: I drink coffee and do a bit of research now. About Pom Pom Crabs.🦀
