I am uber busy this week promoting One Does Not Simply Walk Into Mordor! I’m doing a blog tour for this release, so I’m writing a new post for almost every day.
Why “Oops?”
Because one of my ROW80 goals is to finish a short story within a few days of starting it. I started writing Schrodinger’s Cookies, one of the shorts for The Cities of Luna, but I stopped halfway and haven’t finished it yet.
The time commitment to writing-related stuff is right on target. In fact, I’m spending quite a lot of time this week doing promo and guest blog posts. But the actual writing has temporarily fallen by the wayside.
Balance. Must find balance.
Meanwhile, if you’d like to take a tour with me, here’s where I’ve been all week:

Almost like you’re too busy to actually sit down and write, isn’t it? I’m sure you’ll finish the story, maybe not when you had wanted to, but sometimes taking the time away from it gives you all kinds of ideas for later.
One thing on my writer ‘bucket list’ is to delegate out as much of the ‘extra’ stuff as possible so I can concentrate on writing and revising.
Someday…
