Hello writers and readers. Today I’m sharing a bit of behind the scenes with a day-in-the-life vlog over on my YouTube channel,
I usually talk about writing, planning, and definitely planning to write over there, so if you’re into that sort of thing, please check it out. I have several ideas for the new videos I’ll be recording through the end of 2025. Including my 2026 plans, goals, and the tools (meaning PLANNERS) I’ll be using next year to help get me there. I’d love to see you there.
I’m still working on my new book, Her Name Was Lola, and yes, I’m starting to stress out about my January 27th preorder date. It seems like the days are just slipping by so fast, and I still have SO MUCH WORK ahead of me to get this book in shape and ready for publication. Additionally, I’ve decided I want to make some more tweaks and minor changes to the cover design, so I’ll be trying to get that done and uploaded to retail sites sometime this week.
But I’m telling myself not to worry and that I ALWAYS freak out a little during this phase. I have big, big word count plans and goals for this coming week and the time to commit to them. So as long as I get myself to my desk and avoid all those tempting distractions, I should be back on track by this coming weekend.
As I write this, I’m currently sitting at 67,000 words in Her Name Was Lola, and I’d like to add AT LEAST another 10K by Saturday. So please, send all your positive, get to work, and focus energy my way.
God knows I need it.
