Plans for next year

[erastes]

Jessewave is organising a m/m giveaway – go here to donate a book.

Talking of giveaways - Next year I’m going to do more giveaways – and make it a monthly thing. I have many books in stock that I can easily afford to give one book away a month – I just need to work out some amusing and tortuous way to arrange a monthly contest. Got to make the minions SUFFER, after all—what would be the fun if I didn’t?

I'm also going to start doing podcasts on Speak Its Name – and will be reading the reviews posted. Sadly they won't be as entertaining as things like Zero Punctuation, but I hope that people who like podcasts will enjoy them. Are there accessible review sites for partially sighted people, anyway? If not why on earth not?

Writing wise I will go again for two novels – around the 200,000 word mark in total – or a novel and two novellas. This will be tough because I’m going to hit the ground running as I’ll start behind, as I haven’t finished I Knew Him and won’t do so by the end of the year. However – I travel hopefully, and cutting down my goal won’t help. I lost two months writing this year due to illness. But – the more I write, hopefully the more I’ll sell.

I’d like to sell Junction X too, but I say that every year.

No one is as entertaining as Zero Punctuation but then... I think it's nice to believe no one will ever be able to stay that bitter for so long.

True - I don't really like book reviews where the review and the reviewer becomes more important than the book - and the reviewer sort of uses it as a platform to elevate their own "fame" rather than writing sensibly.

I did laugh when he said he quite liked the Sean, English guy in AC;B. So do I!

I was wondering along those kind of lines last night when they had a feature on e-readers on In Touch (although, annoyingly, they only talked about the Kindle, iphone & Sony e-readers. Fair enough on the in depth discussion focussing on the devices the people actually own, but no mention of "there's lots of other makes out there, but these are the most widely available"? Good thing I don't make or sell them or I'd be grumphing, lol)
