Lies in a Season of Tribulation by Launa McNeilly

The weather in this Northeastern little town has been wonderful. Warmer days, and above freezing nights are welcome. The economy is still in the dumps but my spirits are rising with the temps!!

I'm still trying to wrap up my third novel but I'm over 425 pages and the story continues. I keep finding more and more to add to the story. I'm enjoying writing it, so, I guess the story will go until it concludes.

My second book, now that's a quandry. I'm just not sure how I want to proceed with it. Do I publish it myself or get old trying to find an agent that will find a publisher that will put it in print? I'm not liking the latter. Funds for my writing is limited. I am talking with the graphic artist who did my first bookcover for, Lies, which was incredible. I love that cover!! Hopefully we can get that going soon. Do I do a paperback or a hardcover? Maybe, I don't do either, but to start, just get it into ebook format.  That I can do for free. At this point, free is good.

I'm looking forward to beginning book number four. I have it in my head and have started to write notes. I don't organize my books with the outlines that many do. I still do take notes of plots and thoughts so that when I begin the new book, they will arouse the memory of what it will consist of. I am a write and let the story unfold as I type. It is easier for me to do it that way and more enjoyable. My stories often surprise me with the twists and turns they take so I never get bored trying to conform to the outline. I often get as surprised as the reader of the finished book when I am writing it. Bonus!

Winter has been short in months this year but too long in hybernating form. I'm ready to get out and walk, commune with nature( as long as it's not a bear), and refresh my soul with lots of sun and warmth. It's always good for the constructive energy it provides my story telling mind. I am ready for Spring in Maine!  Heaven, if we don't have a mud season and even that is looking pretty positive.

If there are any readers of this blog that have any advice for me, please leave me a comment. I will respond. Thanks for reading.
