Last October, I finished my novel.   I was ecstatic.  I said what I wanted to say.  My readers and proofers were delighted with the final revisions.  I built a website to support the content.  I had agents offering to represent me.  I found some 3d page turning ebook software.  I contracted with Dog Ear to publish. It was all good and all quite exciting.
The mechanics of publishing have continued. I am working with editors and Dog Ear’s production folks. I am even working on the audio version.  But since the first of the year I have started to feel burdened by the “business” of writing.  I don’t want to be, but I am.  I knew the paperback version wouldn’t be out for another 3 or 4 weeks, but, it just seems like it’s taking forever.

Tom Bird told me back when I started this adventure less than a year ago,  “As soon as you finish your first book, start your next one”.  This most excellent advice I pass on to you as I work on my next novel.  I think you will find, as I have, the waiting(on the completed work) is truly the hardest part.
