Meanwhile, the typing up of Contagion Phase 2: Beginnings is underway. And Iāve completed the first round of editing of the Mind Master Chronicles: The Pretender (Book 3). Here is the summary:
The Mind Master emerges from the shadows in order to play a game. Only itās not the game he sold to his contestants online. No, that was a simple reality TV show, a promotional tool for their futures. In reality, the Mind Masterās game is a battle of wits to the death.
The editing for Mind Master Chronicles: The Pretender is going faster than it did with Biosphere. I had to make a lot more content changes with Biosphere.
I havenāt been writing as much as Iād like. I read an article recently on budgets ā how you can focus on the interest rate or on the balance as your primary goal. Iām an interest rate person since it is the most efficient. Still, when you chip away at a lot of things rather than get fewer things done faster, you oftentimes donāt feel like youāre getting anywhere. And that can affect your morale. Still, Iām planning on continuing to try to do two pages a day per book because it keeps the pacing right for a book length story. Trying to add content later if you find the book is too short tends to harm the book. I will just have to dig deep and try to resume my schedule. Yes, I believe in taking breaks on occasion when I hit blocks. Putting too much pressure on yourself just creates anxiety. But you do have to prod yourself from time to time as well in order to keep the momentum going.
Update: Amazon is again offering up to $3.00 per transaction for Prime No-Rush and Amazon Delivery Day Rewards. The amount of Digital Rewards given seems dependent on the quantity of items purchased and what day of the week you purchase the items. It seems you need to buy four items at a time to qualify for the $3.00. The books I write qualify for Digital Rewards, so in theory you can get one of my eBooks if you get the $3.00 maximum reward once.
