Beet It: Released!
DLA (Rewrite): Plotting
24C: 8543 words

Beet It is out now! It’s available on Kindle for the summer, and will be available everywhere else in mid-September. Head over to my publishing site at BrazenSnakeBooks.com for more info and links.

As far as writing goes, I got quite a bit of dictation done on 24C, which is excellent, but I also figured out a pivotal plot point while making dinner Tuesday night, which is awesome. My main laptop decided to go on strike with a memory issue Wednesday, which, as you might imagine, created all sorts of havoc as I scrambled to figure out how I was going to post my release-day notices, not to mention transferring my dictation from Dragon into Dabble. I finally got out my old laptop and fired that up, spent nearly an hour trying to remember the password to log in, and then another 30-45 minutes just updating browsers, turning off old software and updating what I really needed. I got my release notices posted around 1am Friday morning, which left no time to transfer the past three day’s dictation.

Anyways, tech problems. Gotta endure ’em. I have my old laptop mostly functional now, so I should be able to at least limp forward with the writing until I can get my main laptop fixed. I finally transferred the week’s dictation into Dabble last night, and while I had to cut an entire babbling scene from early on, the rest of it is in pretty good shape.

I should easily be able to finish this draft next week – hooray! I decided not to push on getting this out so quickly, as the limitations/exclusivity required for using Amazon’s Kindle Select (Unlimited, for readers) aren’t really sitting well with me. So 24C will be released wide from the start, which means I don’t have to rush it.

That also means that next week, I’m back to working on DLA as well. And since I’ve decided to build an entire family saga out of it, I’ll be doing some rough plotting and background before I start the actual rewrite, so I know how to connect it to subsequent books in the series before I start writing this time.

It’s gonna be a fun writing week, methinks. Moreso if I can get my main laptop fixed.

DLA (Revisions): On Hold
24C: Updated count next week
Beet It (Editing/Revisions): Ready to Format

Beet It is done! Huzzah! It was a whirlwind week, and I’m not sure I would have finished without having Friday off from the day job, but I did, and after a very last minute hour-and-a-half major revision session, the story is just how I wanted it and ready to format/upload.

I plan to have it formatted and uploaded by the end of the weekend, and ready for pre-orders on Amazon. I am experimenting with a windowed release this time, doing a soft release into Kindle Unlimited (which requires exclusivity), and then when it comes out, it will be released on all other platforms. If all goes well, I’ll be releasing the paperback next Friday as well, so anyone not on Amazon who wants it early can order the paperback.

I also plan to release an AI narrated audiobook that will be available across multiple channels, so that should cover most everyone who’s interested in the story.

And who knows? I may even do a video or audio reading of parts myself. It depends on how much time I can find hiding in the couch cushions.

In any case, it’s done, it’s almost ready, and the initial release day is Friday, June 3rd.

As soon as I get BI formatted and uploaded, I need to focus on finishing 24C so I can get it to my editor asap. My goal release date for that is the first Friday in July, so it’s already behind and there’s no time to waste. Dictation has really helped with that, and that’s really the only way it’s going to get done. We’ll see if I can get it to her in time to make my next deadline.

I’ve been really focused on getting the business restarted – writing, obviously, but also lots of behind the scenes things too, like switching email list providers, looking at replacing templates, fixing the reputations of my email addresses – things like that. It’s a lot of work, but I am enjoying it, and I’ll enjoy it more once I get past these first year deadlines and get some momentum built up again.

One day, one thing, one story at a time, I guess. But for now, I’m just happy to finally have a new release coming after far, far too many years without.

It’s gonna be a very good week.

Beet It (Editing/Revisions): Two scenes done
24C: 4816 words

I’ve had a less productive week, but things are still moving forward. At this point, I’m definitely missing the first draft deadline for 24C (due yesterday), which sucks, but there’s still time to make the publishing deadline for Beet It (formerly Beet Down), so I’m focusing on that.

I did get my dictation solution up and running, which consists of Dragon Anywhere software on my phone, and a lapel mic connected via Bluetooth. It’s not perfect, but it works 95% of the time, and I had it running by Tuesday evening. Wednesday I just could not seem to get myself together enough to start dictating when I got in the car and I was off work Thursday, so rather than dictating I imported a transcribed file and did some editing on it instead. But Friday was a decent dictation day with a couple sessions giving me two more completed scenes, so if most days can be like that, I should finish the first draft of 24C next Friday.

I need to finish the revisions on BI by next Friday as well, so those are my priority for the late night writing times next week. It’s definitely edits plus specific revisions rather than a rewrite – I’m mostly just removing or tweaking things here and there, so it should easily be done by next weekend and ready for a final proofread before I format it.

And since all my other DBV stories are already available in audio, I think I might use this one to experiment with Google Play’s new AI narration feature. It could definitely be an interesting experiment, I think, and it would be a more affordable way for people to listen, as digital narration is much cheaper than hiring a human.

I don’t mean to disparage human narrators – on the contrary, they are well worth the extra cash (seriously – check out the sample for any of my other currently available audio books – they’re amazing, IMO). But sometimes you can’t justify paying for the more expensive option even if it is worth the higher cost, especially in this economy, so I’m all about offering a less expensive version as well.

In any case, I need to actually finish the story before I do any formatting with it, so…that’s the priority for this week.

Can I just say I’m really enjoying this whole…having deadlines, shooting for goals, writing daily thing? I was away from it for so long, and now that I’m back in this headspace, I wish I’d never left. Things happen, obviously, and focus gets fractured, but I hope I can hold on to this feeling the next time that happens, and not stay away for so long.

Beet Down(Edits): Starting next week
24C: 3654 words

This week, I made progress on 24C, but not as much as I’d hoped to. I really just can’t type fast enough, so I’m exploring options for dictation & transcription again. I downloaded the Dragon Anywhere app for my phone, which actually transcribes really well, but in the car with engine noise (which is mainly where I want to dictate – on my commute), it just doesn’t “hear” well enough. So I ordered a Bluetooth lapel microphone to see if that will allow me to dictate and drive. In the meantime, I may try to do some dictation this weekend at the house if I get some time to myself, which is…unlikely, but not completely impossible.

I also backed a Kickstarter run by Kevin J Anderson, who predominately uses dictation to draft. One of his backer rewards included copies of the raw dictation files for the book he was “kickstarting”, and now I have those files! So I’m going to start listening to those this weekend to see how he does dictation, and maybe get some pointers for myself. It’s just so much faster than typing…but the key is getting good transcription so I’m not trading typing time for just basic text clean-up.

I also got the Beet Down edits back from my most excellent editor, who helpfully pointed out several subplots I started and dropped, and how I could expand them to double the size of the story.

But the Death by Veggies collection is a collection of short stories, and I don’t want them to go longer. So what she also did was show me exactly where I can trim it up (it was already too long for a proper short story), and also where I need to do a better job explaining and wrapping things up. I have a character that needs a personality transplant too, but that won’t be too difficult.

So while I’m finishing the 24C draft, I’ll be working on trimming, editing and polishing up BD, and I think I can do that in time for the June 3 release date. It just requires focus and motivation, and not getting so bogged down in the creative side that I allow myself to slow down.

That’s largely been my problem for the last five years – giving myself too much “room” for the creative side of things. Yes, there’s an argument to be made for going slow and making something “everything it could be”, but I think it’s easy to use that as an excuse to never finish. An artistic work of any sort is *never* done. There’s always something that can be improved or done differently or expanded or condensed…and if you’re not worried about making money or building a career, then indulging those whims isn’t a problem.

However, I want to make money from my writing. I have a specific income goal in mind, and I want this to be a lucrative endeavor. And that means at some point, I have to make creative decisions that will serve my larger income goals. Which means if a story is meant to be a short story because that’s how it will fit best with my brand and marketing plan, then it needs to stay within those parameters and not go longer just because it can.

Basically, my creative side needs to work *with* my manager/admin side toward the larger goal that will serve both sides best. Up to this point, I’ve been indulging my creative side, treating my writing like a hobby because I have an alternate form of income. But now that I have a definite goal to eventually make writing my main form of income (and a set deadline for reaching that goal), I need to learn when to say “enough” on a project, and move on, hitting my deadlines and moving the whole career forward, rather than focusing on individual projects.

I’m lucky in that unlike a lot of creatives, I do have a good goal and business-oriented mind. So putting some limits on my creative side doesn’t feel overly restrictive or inauthentic. On the contrary, it’s actually kind of a relief to reign the angsty creative in and give her some boundaries.

Next week, my goals are to finish 24C and do the initial read-through/plotting, and then get a good start on the second round of revisions for BD. I have a bunch of admin stuff to do too, but those are the main writing goals.

I just wish I had more time to work on them, but I’ll use the time as well as I can, and hopefully get dictation working for myself so I can take advantage of those fifteen minute drives during the week!

Weekly Writing Progress
DLA (revisions): Read-through/initial plotting complete
24C (drafting): 1,935 new words

Last week was a good writing week. I didn’t hit all of my goals (24C should be quite a bit further along), but I did write consistently and I like what I got, plus it’s been a long time since I even wrote a full thousand words in a week, and I got nearly double that. So I’m happy with that progress.

Also importantly, I finished the read-through and initial plotting of DLA, which is good, but a bit disheartening. This is exactly the reason I’d like to start doing some rudimentary plotting *before* I draft a story. DLA is a mess…because I didn’t know what story I wanted to write until the second to last chapter (apparently).

Needless to say, this book is going to require a “mostly rewrite”, with little bits I can reuse here and there. That’s okay though – I prefer drafting to revising anyways, so it will actually be more fun to just rewrite the majority of it. Especially since I know what the main plot needs to be now, and also, because I worked out a lot of things about the setting last week that I was waffling on before.

I want this book to be the first in a growing collection of stories all set in the same fictional town/area here in Montana. I was having trouble kind of sussing that out until I had an epiphany about it last week, while I was thinking about the rewrite for this story, as well as another MS I have drafted and need to go through the same process with. I really got to noodling hard about the name of the town (because my original name is kind of a popular use thing not just here in my state, but in other states as well), and once I hit on a name, all these other details just sort of started popping up in my head that started making the town and its founding families (and heirs, which will feature prominently in these books I’m working on) seem very real and like a place I wanted to know more about.

That’s always a good sign.

I wrote a more in-depth post about this on my personal blog, so visit The Variety Pages for more on that.

In the meantime, now that I know where I want to go with this story, I need to re-plot it so that it makes sense, and then get to writing. Since it’s basically going to be a full rewrite, I’ll work on plotting it and really getting my setting and the family trees lined out this week, and then next week I’ll start the rewrite, since the deadline for the first draft of 24C is Friday the 13th (fitting for this particular story, methinks).

I’m kind of excited to do this rewrite, because it’ll be the first draft I’ve written with a loose outline, ever. So I’m curious to see if that makes it easier/quicker to write, or if it makes it more of a slog. Either way, it’ll be a good experiment, and I’m hoping for the former and a new, quicker writing process to latch onto in the end. Fingers crossed.

So this week’s writing goals are pretty simple. Finish the first draft of BD, and complete a plot line and setting history for DLA.

As far as publishing goes, I also downloaded several images of beets for the BD cover and advertising, and I spent way too much time getting my email addresses “authenticated” so that nefarious hackers online will stop spoofing them to send out spam, and my legitimate emails won’t immediately get sent to receiver’s spam boxes anymore. Since I’m getting closer to publishing things again (yay!) I want to revamp and start sending out newsletters again. I can’t really do that if people won’t be able to find my emails in their inboxes.

I think I have everything all fixed though, which is a relief. So now this week I can focus on making the cover for BD, and then deciding whether to stay with MailChimp for my newsletters or moving them to a different platform.

So much to do, so little time, but it’s all coming together, slowly.
