I’ve turned in another single title. It doesn’t have a title or back cover copy yet. I think it will be out in September ‘08…but I’m not certain even on that. How’s that for providing my blog readers with all the up-to-the-minute information on my publishing schedule?

Having survived tight back-to-back deadlines in the midst of a cross-country move, I can say one thing: these books do not write themselves. I write them. I whine, complain, write and revise. Me. Just me. So, when I see the “This book just wrote itself!” comments on writing loops I want to scream. Why can’t I get one that writes itself? I know the authors really are saying that the book just completed went smoother than some of the others. I get that. Some do go down on the page with less trauma (and swearing) than others. But I refuse to believe that any of these suckers write themselves.
