Perseveance Gets New Book Finished

From mid-May to early July, much of my time was taken by personal business.

When all of the special events—inluding  selling a house and packing up its contents to move into storage—were over, I settled in to finish writing The Book.

To be honest, I'd written this book a couple of years ago, but I felt it was missing something so I shelved it.

This year, I pulled it out and started rewriting it—again. I had a fourth of it done when all the personal stuff happened. I didn't get back into the office until after July 4. When I considered that I had only 15 days to get it finished, edited, proofed, and formatted, I nearly canceled the book because I was SO tired.

I didnt think I could do it, but I decided to try to make the July 19 deadline. 

I wrote every day and stayed up until midnight many nights to get it finished as quickly as possible so my editor and proofreader could take it on.

I did it. I managed to get it uploaded by 5PM Saturday—1 hour before the deadline. Whoop!

Sunday I walked around like a zombie.

Today, Monday, I started a new book.

PERSEVERANCE

If you look up the word, perseverance, you'll see that it's "the quality of continuing with something, especially despite difficulty, obstacles, or discouragement. It involves steadfastness in pursuing a goal, purpose, or course of action."

Perseverance is usually viewed as a positive trait linked to success and achievement. At least, that's always the way I've thought of it. 

Personally, I think perseverance is linked to stubborness. You just get deep down stubborn and will keep going no matter what obstacle tries to block you.

The result? My new book, OLD ENOUGH TO BE BOLD, a spicy enemies to lovers RomCom  that publishes July 23, it will be available on Kindle Unlimited.

Trope Alert

Spicy Enemies to Lovers

Forced Proximity

Ugly Duckling

Handsome Stranger with a dazzling smile

And enough heat to melt the ice storm that forces Linnie and Max to share an isolated cabin.

Like the end of any good Romance, my writing challenge has a Happy Ending—the publication of OLD ENOUGH TO BE BOLD.
