I have a project in mind that I'd like to self-publish, so I want to get to work on it after the current book is done and sent to my publisher. I may give myself a bit of a break first, but I get really antsy if I'm not writing something.
One chapter away from a training montage in preparation for the final battle! ;)
I hate slumps. Hopefully you'll get through yours soon.

When you get there let me know. At the very least I can give some tips on the amazon system. And right now we've got a good artist.
Did your publisher not pick you up for anymore books? Or is this just a project that's been burning a hole in the back of your mind?

Wordmaker:
I go from contract to contract. The only thing I'm tied to them for is that they get first refusal on any sequels or spin-offs from Locked Within, but I still have to submit a query each time.
I've wanted to branch out and add some self-published titles to my back catalog anyway, and with this new project I may need more control over physical design and artwork.
Wordmaker:
Phew! Up to 84,529 words.

So for each sequel you have to send a query? Is that mostly just a formality, or is just the way some contracts are?
Wordmaker:
It's just the way some contracts are. Particularly because I'm a new author, a small publisher can't commit to a contract for more than one book at a time because of the financial risk.
That said, my publisher is really decent and reserved a slot in this year's lineup for Silent Oath, and they're looking forward to seeing the third book.
