Countdown To “Game of Wit and Chance”

The day is coming and it’s making me emotional. Anxious, scared, panicked are three emotions right up there, but I’ll admit, most of all I’m excited.

It’s been a little more than six years since I repotted myself and said “I’m a writer now.”

I have written since then, without a doubt I’ve written. Short stories, poetry, flash fiction, journals…and three novel length stories. What I haven’t done is publish anything.

So now a commitment has been made to the most critical member of my team (myself). This year I will publish my first novel length story on October 1st.

The third revision of this story is well underway. I’ve sent a number of people the final second revision, asking them to read (as unpaid volunteers, even though I can’t think of a less interesting way to read) for punctuation, grammar and spelling. The cover is underway, thanks to a successful fellow writer who shared his cover designer with me. And I’ve been peppering another successful fellow indie-author with questions about the mechanics of publishing.

This time I’m confident it will happen. That’s all I’m confident about, but that’s enough for now.
