5100 words today. Vote on my next book at the veeeeery bottom of this post.
I got the writing app book back from my editor so I reviewed the changes and got all of the images slotted into the book. Then I double-checked all the images and captions to make sure anything wasn’t off. This book has 73 images, so that adds some complexity to the QA process. I got it all done.
I also got the cover ordered for the writing app book. Tentative publication date is Thursday or Friday, so that’s coming soon.
I also created the sales page for the Writing App book to get it ready for launch.
ANOTHER INTERVIEW
Also, I did a great interview with Matty Dalrymple at The Indy Author Podcast. We talked about emerging tech for the writing craft. We cover a lot of topics, but the one I liked the most was unlocking the emerging tools that are probably already on your computer.
