Writing my brains out
I wonder how many of my fellow authors and readers make a living in the freelance writer/editor/copywriter trade. My day started today at 6:30 am with a deadline to hit before most people get to work, followed by edits on another project, a pitch meeting for another and some back and forth with various parties for a corporate client. It's 1:00 PM EST (I'm a Jersey Boy).
I just sent off an invoice for a project and accepted another offer. I need to start an article for a deadline tomorrow and spend some time with my wife and kids (I have three between the ages of 7 and 10), maybe attempt to have a social life and, oh yeah, work on my next book, do some social media stuff, find useful places to promote my novel, READ, and I know I'm missing some other things...oh yeah, I also have a full-time job.
But I'm not complaining. I haven't always been this busy, especially on the freelance writing side. It's awesome and time consuming.
What's suffering is my fiction writing and book promotion. If anybody has any suggestions for a real good, effective place to market my book (I'm not above paying for exposure) I'd appreciate the information.
And by the way, in my last post, which was three weeks ago thanks to my busy-ness, I discussed the Stephen King series "Under the Dome".
Well, the show is now two shows into this summers 13 episode run and I have to say, if I wasn't a Stephen King fan, I might not continue watching. It's been disappointing so far, a little boring and I find some of the production and some of the acting a bit cheesy.
But I'll give it time. I'm hoping it gets better. I want it to be great. We'll see. Let me know what you think.
