This morning’s email brought a manuscript I was scheduled to index *last August.*
This is why I tell early career researchers who need a book for tenure that they need to start planning their book very early. Like, month one of the first year post-degree. Starting to revise the dissertation or drafting a new project to book-in-hand is reliably four years.
But sometimes, it can be longer.
Now is a great time to book me for September/October to start planning your first book.

The nice thing about being an #indiewriter is that you don't have to worry about what publishers think will sell
For example, I write smut-free Fantasy #lesbianfiction, which no mainstream publisher is going to touch, no matter how good the #writing is, but by self-publishing, I can get my work out there. There are more headaches, of course, but in the end, I expect publishing my #firstbook to be worth it.
Also, having a great #writingcritique group is a huge help in keeping the quality solid.

When you made a note to self to cite/read someone but autocorrect played you and now you have no idea what/who you were supposed to read.

This #introduction is long overdue.
I am a #designer, #editor, and #writer who produces #print #publications while also working as a #projectmanager in the #sfbayarea.
Over the years, I have been persistent (and consistent) with #bouldering (gym #climbing, primarily), #morningpages, #reading, and #tarot. I am deeply interested in #sociology, #mythology, #storytelling, #neurodiversity, and #intersectionality.
Right now, I’m working on my #firstbook and perfecting #glutenfree #dumplings.

Going to be perfectly honest I am not a practiced #reader or #Writer but something inside me has always wanted to give it a try, so here I am, I have started writing chapter 1 of my #firstbook it's to early to announce the the title but had to tease it. #thriller #paranormal
