July Brings New Chicks

July is my relaxed month for the summer. I say this looking at the fact that I have three events scheduled, but one is a one day bookstore book signing that's not too far from home so yeah, we'll call two weekends away relaxed(ish). My year is half over with 17 more events to go. #buckleup

In non-writing news this month, Laya has been taking a break from meeting readers to hatch a few eggs. We welcomed three new chicks to the flock over the weekend. 

How's writing going with 21 events down so far for the year? Yeah, not so much writing happening. Big surprise, I'm sure. 

• Nugget the Space Chicken and the Haunted Cave of Korabumba is written and off to the illustrator. #progress

• Interface is glaring at me.

• i9 is also glaring but I have been working on the cover art so sorta progress?

If you're in the market for ebooks, Smashwords is having their big July sale. You can pick up Dreams of Stars and Lies or Not Another Bard's Tale for only .99 or dip your toes into The Narvan with One Shot at the Sphinx for FREE.

And that brings us to this month's Insecure Writer's Support Group question: Is there a genre you haven't written yet that you'd like to try?

I've written western and mystery, though that was a long time ago, but I've always wanted to give a choose your own adventure type book a try. I've had one percolating in the back of my mind for about a year now. Looking at my to-do list, it's going to stay there for another year or more before it gets any real consideration. It would be fun though, assuming I can pull it together.
