So September's sales continued the downward slope that August started (and frankly, October is starting off to be even worse than that), so no great news there. One day I'll figure out how to do graphs and put up a fancy jpg showing my sales trend, which will no doubt look like a mountain: up, up, up and then down, down, down.
Oh well. The novel is going great, so it's hard to get too worked up over sales of stuff I don't really care about. I'm at about 56K words as of today, which is kind of amazing, since the longest thing I'd written previously was a 30K novella. It's so long that I keep coming across stuff I'd even forgotten writing, which makes for an interesting experience. I expect to have it largely completed in two or three weeks, which will put it at about 65K and three months of work. Allowing time to edit, rewrite anything needed and so on, I'm still hoping that I can have it up for sale by Thanksgiving.
After that, I'm hoping to resuscitate something I started almost a year ago but haven't touched since. It would be a shame to let this 5000-word seed just sit there without seeing if it could sprout into something more, however, so ideally I'd have another novel ready to go in late winter.
