The other day, I assisted a handicapped gentleman in a wheelchair into a local business. Even though I was in a hurry, I took the time to hold the door for him, and made sure his chair made it across the threshold. I didn't even get a thank you out of him, though I wasn't expecting one, but I was certainly greeted with warmth from the staff members. Most of all, my youngest saw that I helped the man and asked me about it. I explained to her that we are supposed to help those in need. There are little rewards, even if it's setting a good example for a child.
I am happy to say that I finally finished The Whisperer of Storms! It consists of 50 chapters and an epilogue. I am currently making arrangements to have it edited. In the meantime, I've been working on a book trailer, reading up on eBook formatting for Smashwords, and thinking about a tentative release date. Once the editing and formatting are completed, I'll have a better idea for a release date. I am considering doing pre-orders,which I will set up once I set a date.
For my next book, I have two stories to choose from. Both are contemporaries, which will be much easier to write than a historical. I won't have to worry about when a phrase was coined, or when something was invented. Since I now know what I'm doing, my second novel should take much less time to complete. I have to stick to writing everyday.
Have a safe and happy holiday weekend!
