I've got one book out, a novella coming next week, and two short stories coming this summer. What a newbie I am. I'm turning in my sequel to Nature's Pentacle soon, and have another completed manuscript ready to turn in after that, so fingers crossed that those two will meet with approval and become future releases. Like you, I'm always scrambling toward that next release!&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;Eden</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4468468712675622912/7837893260995976338/comments/default/6735511210402737435'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4468468712675622912/7837893260995976338/comments/default/6735511210402737435'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://edenrivers.blogspot.com/2008/05/keeping-my-head-above-water.html?showComment=1211415420000#c6735511210402737435' title=''/><author><name>Eden Rivers</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03313530070124643379</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='08825372017922533819'/></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://edenrivers.blogspot.com/2008/05/keeping-my-head-above-water.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4468468712675622912.post-7837893260995976338' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4468468712675622912/posts/default/7837893260995976338' type='text/html'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4468468712675622912.post-299689709524501696</id><published>2008-05-21T17:10:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-05-21T17:10:00.000-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Eden, I hate to admit this, but recently my editor...</title><content type='html'>Eden, &lt;BR/&gt;I hate to admit this, but recently my editor asked me about a detail in one of my works that I'm about to begin editing. Knee-deep in my writing my latest piece, I didn't have a clue. &lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;I don't know about other writers but that saying "the best promotion is your next book" haunts me. I'm always pushing for the next project, the next new release that sometimes I feel like I'm surfing a tidal wave. This will be my second year as a published author, and to be honest I envy those who have back catalogues over 15. To date, I have 1 novel, 2 novellas and 1 short with another novel coming out in the summer and still I always think that I am slacking off. I don't have kids, but I do have a full time job and I squeeze in pages when I can get them. I have about 4 projects lined up in the que to be finished or written and for the moment, I am swimming as fast as I can...and hoping that I don't burn out ;)</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4468468712675622912/7837893260995976338/comments/default/299689709524501696'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4468468712675622912/7837893260995976338/comments/default/299689709524501696'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://edenrivers.blogspot.com/2008/05/keeping-my-head-above-water.html?showComment=1211415000000#c299689709524501696' title=''/><author><name>Mya</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13782998807645288756</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://edenrivers.blogspot.com/2008/05/keeping-my-head-above-water.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4468468712675622912.post-7837893260995976338' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4468468712675622912/posts/default/7837893260995976338' type='text/html'/></entry></feed>
