Wow, is it February already? One weather model is predicting a big snow next weekend. The weather that comes toward us often passes us by, even when it’s predicted. I think it’s because we’re in the valley. I will admit, I would love to see a big snow. Well, we had one last week, but this other one is supposed to be bigger. I’m not holding my breath.
I didn’t get my 5000 words in this week. I made it to 2580. I usually write more on Saturdays than any other day, but yesterday I spent a lot of the day making key chain swag for prizes for my FB book release party. I finally have a tentative date in mind, but I want to make sure I can have everything ready for it before announcing.
There’s been someone I’ve wanted for my cover model for my WIP, Fire Wizard, for a long time, and we’ve finally come to an agreement. He’s agreed to let us do some custom shots, and I’m really excited (even though I won’t be there). Anya is doing the shots for me. This has made me even more motivated to get this book done! 🙂 More about that when the time grows closer. I must make you wait!

Custom shots for your book cover sounds cool.
I can’t believe it’s February already. January was a blur….
I’m really excited about the shoot. And, yeah, January flew by.
Over 2,000 words is still good progress. Does your goal of 5,000 words/week include writing that isn’t in the manuscript, such as character exercises, back story and that sort of thing? I’m thinking of setting my goal for the next ROW80 round at 5K and I’m just curious how other writers are doing it.
Having custom cover shots for your next book will be really cool. When can we look forward to a cover reveal?
Actually, the 5,000 word goal is just the manuscript. It’s an unusually lofty goal for me, though, so I might have to lower it. Right now, I’m working on the release of Hearts of Evil, so that’s taking up some of my time. As far as a cover reveal for Fire Wizard, it will be awhile. The photo shoot isn’t until late May/early June. The projected publishing date for it is June 30. I usually don’t do projected dates, but I’m trying to start imposing deadlines upon myself. 🙂
