I admit I have been a bad little blogger!
I was good at the beginning of the year, with lots of rants, but with so many channels of social media, I confess somehow blogging sometimes falls down my radar.
Thinking about it, I guess it is because writing is what I do all day long to keep the roof over our head, doing more writing sometimes slides down the priority list! Also, as per usual there are a thousand things to do.
Much like my post about the time involved in audio-editing, I thought I’d give a glimpse through a crack in the door of my writing world.
Here’s a sample of what I have been doing since last we spoke
Promotion (oh yes, this takes time)
The Ministry Initiative, our Ministry of Peculiar Occurrences roleplaying game, made its debut to backers of the Kickstarter.
The announcement of the next Ministry Protocol novel, the Diamond Conspiracy release date. It’s coming in March 2015! No cover art as yet, but that will come.
Blogtours. The talking about Dawn’s Early Light continues…but we made USA Today’s HEA!
Sidelines
Worked on production of an audiobook with Lauren Harris being the voice talent. See my post on that over at One-Stop Writer Shop
Worked on production of the audiobook of Ministry Protocol
Worked (and continue to do so) on the production of an audiobook of Weather Child
Working with Peter Woodworth on the villains supplement for the Ministry Protocol.
Working on and maintaining all the various social media channels. Keeping them full of interesting content is important these days.
Working on promoting and building our business of helping independent authors over at One-Stop Writer Shop
Writing
Submitted a proposal for two new Ministry books.
Submitted two proposals for new series.
Working on my project codename Deadly Hollywood
Working on another Aroha Murphy story for another multi-cultural steampunk anthology.
Phew! So I hope, dear reader you understand the scope of being a jobbing writer. It is exhilarating, exhausting, and I love it.
But from now on I’ll try and stay on the blogging rails!
