I worked on my first Kickstarter and it got approved! It’s for the Special Edition Hardcover of Lady Wynwood’s Spies, volume 1: Archer and the release of Lady Wynwood’s Spies, volume 7: Spinster. I contacted my graphic designer about the Special Edition Hardcover of vol. 1: Archer—it’s going to be SO beautiful! The Kickstarter focuses on the Special Edition Hardcover, but it’ll also include vol. 7: Spinster so that it’ll sort of be like a launch day for vol. 7, too. A third special thing that’ll be in the Kickstarter is Special Edition Paperbacks of all the books in the series. They won’t be available in stores, just in the Kickstarter (and later, from my website, and also in my Patreon book box tiers if I decide to do them). The Kickstarter is not live yet, but you can follow it to be alerted when it has launched. (You may need to create a free Kickstarter account.) Follow Camy’s Kickstarter
Captain’s Log, Stardate 12.29.2005
Okay, I admit to procrastinating today, too. I started a new blog called Camy’s Scrapbook for all my pictures. That way, I can organize them and enable people to view them, but I won’t cause problems for anyone without high-speed internet.
Carrie Turansky’s up on First Novel Journey in a great interview today. Tomorrow is a book review on WEDDED BLISS? romance anthology (review by Ane Mulligan).
Writing: I’m starting to meld my heroine together more in my head. Because of the career I’m having her do, her personality needs to mesh with the demands of it. It’s a bit different from the original personality I envisioned for her. I need to do more research.
Mary Griffith has a “word” for each year that the Lord gives to her. This year when I read her blog post, the first word that came to mind was PERSEVERANCE.
Yikes! Lord, you gotta be wiggin’ out here. Who in their right mind wants to persevere? Hello?
I envision horrible things. My new agent pitches my suspense manuscript at CBA Advance to a sea of uninterested faces. Despite brilliant query letters, there are no takers on my suspense manuscript. I struggle with my new chicklit/suspense manuscript, and then it also bombs. My new agent dumps me. I can’t write a brilliant word to save my life. The IRS audits me. Even worse—I have to go back to work full-time at a biotech again!
Oh God. I can do everything through Him who strengthens me, right?
I’m gonna need hecka lotta prayer this year, buds.

But I think it's in the nature of our profession to have all this self-doubt. I really do. Cause we're working on a lone wire most of the time, and we set our own standard, and we never get it on paper as wonderfully as it seems to us in our heads. So...well...
I think you'll get that contract VERY SOON.
I'm still waiting for my word (s). I'm getting inklings, but nothing solid. The baser part of me wishes it would be, "LOTTOO WIN!" First thing...Apple Store. :D
