But I'm in Tarrytown for another month promoting this first book, so I've put it on pause until I get back home to Hawaii. I have a spot at home where my creative energy flows out my fingers as I write, so I'm going to wait until I get back to really get going. In the meantime, I'm trying to figure out the marketing end. I'm so honored and delighted that a few Goodread readers liked my first book! But I realize with the market so saturated, it won't just sell itself. So I'm learning about that end of it. Truthfully, the writing is much more fun and I can't wait to get back to it!(less)

It's like exercise, in that if you do it regularly, it gets easier. Another is try to be a bit more structured and work out the plot and character development beforehand. This was hard for me because I'm not big on outlines, but it helps, even if you drift from it. Third is let people read a draft that isn't polished. Again, that's hard for me because I have a good reputation as a non-fiction writer and I have an ego! But with a murder mystery, it's critical to know if the plot is working before you spend too much time polishing the prose. Then you have wasted a lot of time and will get discouraged. A few trusted friends and my spouse were very helpful to me reading my drafts.(less)
