I've been on the road as a full-time RVer since August of 2013. I enjoy meeting people and taking my time to see the country. I also like the leisurely pace that gives me lots of time to write.
There is a 2-2-2 rule among seasoned full-timers. We are those who don't have a destination; we are simply here for the journey. I try not to travel more than 200 miles in a day, try to arrive at my evening stopover by 2:00 in the afternoon, and usually stay at least 2 days. 2-2-2.
That leisurely pace is not reflected in my writing most of the time. I've written four and a half books this year so far and a few partial drafts and short stories. And these are not short works. According to my daily stats, I've written over 900,000 words so far in 2022.
So, imagine my shock to find that I've slowed my pace. Until the first of August, I averaged 4,000 words a day! Now my pace has fallen to only 3,750 words per day for the year. Oh dear! What shall I do?
Nothing, really. I'm continuing to write and am still just as enthused about the stories I'm working on. The pace might pick up again when I camp for a full week over Labor Day. But I'm not really concerned.
The reason for the slowdown is that I've been preparing my next big release and taking several precautions to make it right before it's released. I'm not saying that no one will pick out flaws or mistakes in it when it's released, but few of my Devon Layne books have gone through such a rigorous editing cycle as Full Frame. And this week I prepared the Advance Review Copy eBook. The review copies are now ready to ship.
I could use some more reviewers who are ready to step up and have a review set to post when the story officially releases on October 2. The first couple of chapters will post here on SOL that day, and the eBook will be available on Bookapy and other platforms. Full Frame will pre-release to my patrons on September 25.
If you are a reviewer and would like to get a jump start on this very long book, give me a holler.
In the meantime, I'll be returning to writing the sequel, Shutter Speed, which is already nearly as long as Full Frame and will likely be longer!
