Sixteen manuscripts. Wow.

I have been parking myself in a chair and writing a little bit every day since I read this post, and I completed drafting a rather long chapter I had meant to finish several weeks ago. The method works!
This strikes me as funny: I knew I should have been trying to write at least a few paragraphs every day, but I never put it into practice until I read your post. Thanks!

Sixteen, actually; I counted after I posted. I will probably publish more eventually, but right now I’m trying to break into traditional publishing, which is a long and arduous process which involves much mailing of letters and then waiting. For a long and arduous time.

I’m really glad to hear you’ve enjoyed those books; they were a blast to write, and they all have special places in my heart!

I’ve read Taerith, Worlds Unseen, and Burning Light, and I loved them all! I recently finished Burning Light for the second time, and you wrote the important scenes so vividly that I could picture them all beautifully.
You’ve got 14 book length manuscripts written? Are you going to publish any of them? I would love to read some more of your fiction!
To be honest, I have not been following the park-self-in chair method very well. Guess I’d better work on that!
