Things have been a little slower on the writing side of Ada Forge Books lately, but there is a good reason for that.
I've been working quite a bit of overtime at my regular job. You know, the one that actually pays the bills.
As much as I would love to spend my days writing novels, editing manuscripts, developing characters, and working on new stories, the real world has a way of reminding me that there are responsibilities to take care of first.
The overtime has certainly limited the amount of time I've been able to devote to my books. Some days, by the time I get home, there just isn't much energy left for sitting down at the computer and getting creative.
That doesn't mean the writing has stopped.
I continue to work on several projects, whether that means writing new chapters, revising existing material, editing manuscripts, or simply working through ideas for stories that are still in development. Progress might be slower than I would like, but progress is still progress.
I'm still hoping to have another novel ready for release sometime in late November. That remains my goal, although I'm not ready to promise a specific date. A lot will depend on how much overtime I'm working over the next several weeks and how much time I can realistically devote to finishing the book.
I would much rather take the additional time needed to get a novel right than rush something out simply to meet a deadline.
In the meantime, Ada Forge Books continues moving forward. There are several stories I am excited about, and I look forward to sharing them as they are completed.
For now, it's a matter of balancing the job that pays the bills with the work I truly enjoy doing.
Thanks for following along, and I appreciate your patience as I continue working toward the next release.
