Quitting Cold Turkey and Sinking

I hope you've had your fill of tryptophan and gluten inducing comas. I sure have. I'm ready for the peppermint mochas, pfeffernusse, and eggnog. But I'm about ready to quit something cold turkey.

I don't mean writing or sales. I don't mean dieting. I don't even mean chocolate. What I'm talking about is quitting the excuses. I'm going to become a quitter and tell my resistance to take a hike. Instead of burning daylight on other things, I will be dedicating nine hours a day to writing. All other activities will be taking a backseat. You'd think this was a given, but it isn't. I'm learning first-hand what Kristine Rusch warned me about in The Business Rusch. She recommends not answering the phone, turning off the internet, telling family and friends they are not to disturb you during your "working hours" and close myself off from the rest of the world. Sounds easy right? Nope, it ain't. In fact, it's hard. But one thing I am really good at and that is being tenacious. Thank goodness.

And as far as sinking, that'll be the price of By Virtues' Design, which will be going on sale for the month of December. I'll be posting more about it in the coming days.

Feral Nature is coming along and I'm already coming up with some ideas on special effects for another secret After Effects project I'm working on for another author. I've also started on my book trailer as well. I'm very excited about it.
