A new look at Cosmic and another Bookshelf

Well, according to my little statistics bar I'm over 60% for my planned length for my next m/m contemporary work. Of course this is just the rough draft. For me, the real work begins when I do my own personal edit rounds before submission because that usually requires me to set the work aside between rounds. I know I take much longer than many of the romance writers out there but I like to polish my work as much as possible. Usually as work overlaps this works out okay, but life has got in the way lately. I am hoping that within a very few short weeks things will ease up -- it should do, unless something untoward happens so that's the plan anyway. The good news is that I've a feeling that the rough draft of the book will be finished very shortly. I've time today to knuckle down to it as soon as I've popped around and made a few announcements.

One of those announcements is that I finally joined and completed my pages at the GBLT Bookshelf. Do drop by. It's a community for...well everyone who writes, publishes, reads any GBLT titles. It's for artists too. For anyone who has flicked through my website, my page will look very similar but that's because I took most of the info from here. It's a good project though and a good place for me to be.

I also found a little time (don't ask me how -- well, by watching the TV with one eye, actually) to make a little promo video for Cosmic. I'm never sure if these are a good idea or not but some readers like them and they can be a rather fun to make. I also wanted to try out iMovie on the Macbook. Not sure it was easier than the last system I used to make a small 'vid' but it worked, which is the main thing. I'm seriously considering just paying someone else if I can manage to make myself let go of some artistic control. LOL. I love the music on this one. I think it sets the whole tone.
