Goals are great. Being flexible helps, too. I know when I set goals I have to allow for "life" to intrude and just go with the flow.Diane Burtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03754105332297068271noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18714294.post-72629366641365997152016-01-07T10:51:42.240-06:002016-01-07T10:51:42.240-06:00Basically at this point, I'm just throwing thi...Basically at this point, I'm just throwing things at my agent and waiting for something to happen. I sometimes envy those of you who get to control what you publish each year. That requires a different kind of dedication.Stephanie Farishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10461865229341760836noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18714294.post-29367824827762042016-01-06T22:08:22.981-06:002016-01-06T22:08:22.981-06:00Thanks, EEGiorgi!

WTG. I'm not working on anymore mysteries this year, but instead, I'm challenging myself to write a memoir about a specific life-changing year in my life.J.Q.

I'm more concerned about Fifth Season being mixed up with N.K. Jemisin's book The Fifth Season, which came out last year. Hopefully there will be enough of a lag between the books to help distinguish them.<br /><br />Alex, I hope the box set will help with marketing. I thought about putting all five books into a box set, but I'm not sure I could price that competitively.Sandra Ulbrich Almazanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15365908651235829765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18714294.post-85964152688115110642016-01-06T05:30:41.399-06:002016-01-06T05:30:41.399-06:00Not confusing to me.

It's like how originally I was going to call Chance of a Lifetime Second Chance but figured that would make more sense for the second book.PT Dillowayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09394481476862013009noreply@blogger.com
