[quote=The Author Guy;6919]Not anywhere near where I wanted to be.
I got attacked by “work demons” forcing me to earn money by doing things that generate revenue faster…prior to that, I was stuck in a Facebook new spiral…that place is probably worse than youtube in terms of preventing things getting done.
On the plus side, I’ve been doing lots of plotting and scene planning, so the overall stories are improving even if the word count is.
And actually, this is important, once I have the story down and start typing, I can generate a lot of words fast, but doing that requires me to sort of charge up by not writing for periods and telling the story over and over in my head in different ways. This happened for all the other books. The difference is that I’m working on 3 books at the moment…and actually that’s now finding myself annoyed at how it’s affected my focus.

Have you thought about joining Patreon.com? It’s a fantastic website designed to allow people to fund authors they like . . . to become their ‘Patron’. Only instead of in the old days where a write would have a single uer rich patron, the idea is for a small ammount of money to come from many people. It’s been so successful that many ‘amature’ writers have been able to give up their day jobs and focus soley on writing. Just thought I’d mention it x x x
