When Deadlines Loom and Procrastination Prevails
Procrastination isn’t the real culprit here; it’s the limited amount of time I’ve had to complete the tasks necessary to make the deadline. That happens, of course, when there’s so much going on…but it doesn’t mean I have to like it.
I have to say, to at least make myself feel better, this isn’t a completely terrible thing. I’ll work around it and the second book will be available soon. Instead, this event will be focused on those who haven’t yet heard about me and if I can add more readers to my fan base before the second book comes out, that’s always a good thing. In that regard, I’ll look at this delay as a positive factor with the acceptance that it’s just another great way to promote the upcoming release.
For those who have been waiting for the second book, bear with me. One plan I have factored in is the possibility of having an excerpt of the second book available for those who want to get a preview. If I can make it happen, I’ll have them with me at the event for those who are interested in getting a sneak peek.
Capital Lakefair |
I’ll be taking part in Lakefair, the local event held in downtown Olympia every July. This year Lakefair will be held from July 17th through July 21st, Wednesday through Sunday. Even if you’ve already purchased my first book, if you’re in the neighborhood, I hope you’ll stop by to say hello and grab a copy of the excerpt I’ll hopefully have handy (I’ll let everyone know once I’m sure they are available).
