Well the last few days have been interesting. Though I got woken with the urge to write an inordinate amount of work on my new book - Amy and Jim's story in the Castle Cluny Romance series - I am struggling to buckle down and edit 'Destiny', even though I promised readers that it would be complete by April. I know I still technically have until the end of the month to complete it, but I am getting truly sick of editing, and just want to get on with some writing again.
It has taken me over a month to get Daniel and Carrie sorted to my full satisfaction, and the thought of having to go through it all again in order to get everything ready for publishing, and then any amendments that might crop up if I spot something that doesn't work (in Aristocratic Awakening not one person who proof-read for me, or who has purchased copies had noticed that it jumped from chapter fourteen to chapter sixteen! There wasn't a chapter missing, just a continuity error). It is so time-consuming, and feels a little soul-destroying when each self-publishing option wants it presented in a different way, and the endless re-formatting is quite frankly giving me the willies - I haven't had enough time to forget the struggles with the first one, to be excited about doing it all again for 'Destiny'.
Still - the great news is that I now have a spangly new, all singing, all dancing website which is looking fabulous! http://www.rosiemacdonald.com/ is now up and running, and is the one-stop-shop for all Rosie Mac news, purchase links for my books in all formats, a calendar of events (so if anyone would like me to come and do any book signings etc please use the contact form - I will be honoured to come!), and the blog will be streamed straight to it! Am very excited, it makes me look so professional.
So, I'm off to do some more editing now, or maybe I'll do the hoovering, change the bed, write another chapter of Jim and Anna's story ......
