OMG Free Time

If you can't tell by the fact that this is my second blog post of the day, I have more free time lately than I have for over a year. I started my current novel almost exactly a year ago (November 1st, 2013), and recently finished the first draft. Apparently I didn't realize the time that I was spending writing and thinking about said novel. That novel is currently going to sit, bound, on top of my printer, for a month. After reading On Writing by Stephen King (Speaking of which, if you haven't read it yet, DO SO NOW. Here's a link to Amazon so that you can buy it. You're welcome :) Click Here), I decided to follow in Mr. King's footsteps and put time between writing and editing my novel. He waits something like two or three months before picking the novel up again, but I'm going to give it a month. If you've never done this before, then you don't understand the literal physical pain in waiting to read your own novel. OK, maybe not physical pain, but it's pretty close. Although I work a full-time job, run a clothing line, and do marketing on the side, the free time that I now have from not working on my novel is kind of monumental. It's refreshing, but there's about 99% of me that misses my book and wants to read the whole thing right now. Waiting to read it is basically the largest amount of willpower I've ever had to use.

I'm using this free time to blog, tweet, (Follow me on Twitter HERE), focus on my clothing line (Inspire Thread Company),  and send out some article queries to a few different magazines. I am also counting down the days to when I can crack open my book. Speaking of which, I'll post again soon with photos of my book IN THE PHYSICAL FORM. I know you're as excited about it as I am. (Maybe). 

In other news, I'm updating my iPhone to iOS 8 FINALLY, and it's taking forever. Wish me luck.
