4500 words. Got the strategy book done late last night after I posted the blog. Total word count is about 16K. I ran through a quick self-edit and then sent it to my editor before heading to bed.
Today, I worked on Indie Author Confidential Vol. 7 again for my word minimums. I’m making great progress on it.
I had another cool idea for a writing series so I sketched that out as well.
I got the book cover for the writing app book this morning, and it looks great! I got that published and will formally announce tomorrow.
Also, my final beta reader for the writing without an outline book returned feedback! I spent the evening reviewing the feedback and addressing some of both of my beta’s concerns. The book was strong before, but I’m feeling great about it now. I sent that to my editor tonight as well (I keep her very busy).
And thanks to everyone who voted. My next book will be…The Writer’s Guide to Dictation!
Seriously, y’all surprised me. I really thought you’d pick a novel again , but hey, you’re keeping me on my toes. I will start on it either tomorrow or Saturday. I need to do a little competitive research, but there aren’t exactly many dictation books on the market. I can count them on one hand (Monica Leonelle, Scott Baker, Kevin J. Anderson, Christopher Downing, Cynthia Ozick, and maybe a few others).
