Glad to hear this chunk of thought. A lot going on for you.
As a 2,000 words a day gal – maybe you could serialize Odin. I may be the only one of your fans that would prefer something to read every morning rather than listen :), but that might be one way to get a bit of a story out.
Or as Mem said, maybe you just need to deep dark the guy.
The D-word isn’t such a bad word, just something we all have to deal with to one degree or another at some point in our lives. I’ve been depressed, on and off, ever since losing my day job back in December. And while it’s slowed me down quite a bit it hasn’t stopped me entirely. Friends help with that a lot, mostly just by dragging me out into the real world now and then. The most important thing is not beating yourself up over it, and giving yourself permission to get going again. Good luck and remember that there are friends and fans out here ready, willing and able to help.
Over the years, depression has become an alarm signal for me, like an emergency brake. It usually means that I have lost the control of my life to something or someone else. That I have lost myself.
I wish you the best. Take care. See you next week. 😉
Oh I wanted to tell you :
-to me, Owner’s Share is your best book ever. I cried so much listening to it ! And, for a “girl”, it is a very good sign of quality. 😉
-for me, depression meds, has made my everyday life much less “heavy” to deal with. And I still get counseling when I feel I am going “down” faster than I can deal with it.
-and about marketing, which seems a lot on your mind, I love this podcast of a CBC-Radio show : The Age of Persuasion. Very informative and entertaining. 😉 http://feeds.feedburner.com/cbc_ageofpersuasion

The problem with serializing is that I have to finish it first.
It’s coming.
Actually, I was thinking maybe you didn’t. Just put 1,000 words up every morning, and let the story wonder where it may.
