Every Other Friday

One of the reasons I created this blog was to "prod" myself into production.  I need someone to keep me on task and on schedule.  That's part of why I have always loved working with producers and editors.  When I was fortunate enough to work on some larger creative projects, "I need a re-write of this script by the 15th" was music to my ears, rather than "get it back to me whenever you can."

I need a taskmaster, and I'm no good at being my own.  There's no shame in it; it's not a character flaw... it's just a personality trait.  I think it's good to know my own weaknesses, and lack of discipline is certainly one of them.  And in order to counter this challenging trait,   I have always had benevolent dictators to help me succeed in my endeavors.

That's where you come in, dear Reader.

I am going to post a chapter every other Friday, beginning on August 5th.

Hopefully, you'll read each chapter eagerly, then breathlessly await the next installment.  But even if you don't... I'll imagine that you are.  I'll tell myself, "my readers are waiting for the next chapter."  In this way, I can drive myself to write, and finish my novel within a year.

I'll also have posts that aren't actual chapters, but they'll be related to the book --  entries about the actual writing of the book.  Those won't have a schedule;  they'll just pop up whenever the inspiration  hits me.

So, I'm making a commitment to you.  Starting August 5th, 2016, I will post a new chapter every other Friday.

And I'll work hard to make sure you'll have something entertaining and engaging to read.  You deserve the best I'm able to create:  you are, after all, my readers.
