I’m editing my third novel today. I should be said that, even though I’m going back to school, the desire to write has never vanished. I’ll continue to write till I’m dead.
The thing with this novel is I’m surprised at the soft … No. Correction. ZERO response the original release of it received. I sent it to a few friends to read: no response. I sent it to a few places to get reviewed: declined.
Considering my first two novels generally were better received, this kind of response lately has made me a little uneasy and doubting my talents. Thus, triggering why I’m going back to school.
Still, as I edit (again) and prepare to read an audiobook version of the story, I’m thinking this is the better novel than the first two. It’s a mature story and I think what’s keeping people from it is it’s not for the attention span of 10 minutes or less. This is going to be one of those situations where time will explain how good the story is.
It’ll get re-released in a month or so and the audiobook right after. I want to finish working on this before my class work gets underway. But, I have a fourth novel to work on. Not to be worked on until this one is out of the way.
