July is already here and I've got a busy month ahead of me. I'm not entirely done with In My Blue World -- I probably have two or three more scenes to write before this draft is done -- but I still want to get started on the revision. I'd like to get as much of it done as I can by the end of this month so I have a new title to plug at Worldcon. The actual release date probably won't be until late August or even September, but as long as I have it mostly done and freebie cards mocked up and printed, I'm fine with that.
That being said, I'm going to make good on my plan and give myself some social media detox while I'm at it. I'll still pop up here twice a week along with my blog posts, of course. But I'll only be on Twitter and FB to plug my ebooks (There's a Smashwords sale going on this month! Go check it out!) and maybe say hello now and again. I just need to take a mental break from it for a bit.
So what else should I be doing this month? Well, I've got to read stuff for the Hugos! I downloaded the packet the other day and I just need to drop it all into my Nook. Surprisingly, I've already read most of the Best Novel nominations so I'm good there. I do quite enjoy reading the short stories and novellas for this -- I don't get around to reading them all that often (although I really should visit Tor.com more often, considering they always have some fine reading there) and this is a good time for me to get caught up with the good stuff.
New month, new goals.
Hope everyone has a good week! :)
