November has been the worst month for this blog. Lowest traffic and lowest engagement.
Why?
Because I haven’t done much on it.
I started this month working on a novel and I got about half way through it. 50% of what I wanted to get done. I had an opportunity to invest in something in my personal life and spent a lot of my free time learning more about that and deciding if that was a good place to put my money. ( like money, I like investments, and honestly it was a good departure from writing as I was starting to push myself too hard). I’ve still been writing my 1500 words a day, but they’ve taken a different, less story driven, form.
What have I learned?
Well, I love writing and reading cosmic horror. So I’m going to keep doing that but I also want to start writing another genre. Possibly Scifi or Fantasy. Something that I can alternate in and out of. I’ve got 4 books plotted out in the horror genre and 3 of them are 25-50% written. 1 is fully written and awaiting editing.
So I think going into next year I’m set up to do much better, book wise than I did last year. 2017 has been a lot of testing and set up and figuring out what does and doesn’t work. As well as releasing Cabals of Blood.
This has been a ramble from your friend Richard Klu. December I’ll have a lot more content. (I read 6 books in November)
November was a shitty one for me too, your not alone…

If we judge each other by our blog traffic, then put me in line. I too spent more time working on my third book and editing my first for a revision launch. (see my latest post-http://www.chuckjacksonknowme.com/book-announcement/ ) I’m retired and have trouble keeping up. I don’t know how the ones that work, blog and write manuscripts too. Good luck with December.

Too much turkey, at least for Americans. Not sure what the rest of the world’s excuse is.
