In a brief departure from current events, I wanted to post a book update. I hadn’t worked on the book for several months, too much distraction. Normally when I feel distracted I go somewhere to write. I have a couple of favorite places, but with the pandemic that hasn’t been an option. So with no end in sight I decided it was time for some creative thinking. So I started thinking about how I could go write somewhere, but be safe. I came up with an idea, I could park my car somewhere pleasant, preferably with shade, and work in the car. Next thing was figuring out how to do it comfortably, I came up with the idea I could slide over into the passenger’s seat, put my legs up on the driver’s seat and my laptop could go on my lap. I decided the next thing was to try it out, so I packed my lunch, my laptop and went to a park that I feel a connection to. I slid over , set up and turned on my mobile hotspot. Sure enough, it worked. I will admit it probably looks a little strange, but I can live with that.
Another update regarding the book is a new idea I’ve been thinking about. I am considering self publishing as an option. It sounds a little scary, but I like the idea of keeping editorial control over the book. I have trouble with the idea that someone else could cut my book into pieces and reassemble the pieces. And I’ve been reading, you can still sell to a publisher after you self publish, which would provide for larger distribution. I’m still exploring it, but I think it may be a good option.
