Going to go live tonight on tt 9 pm est for writing sprints #davidleehotaling #ttlive #booksky #thevicksburgphoenix

So I find myself editing tonight because I am sick of reading others work at the moment and my brain is like do this damn it. #editing #thevicksburgphoenix #davidleehotaling

So I still need a bunch rewrites to fix my story and 90 plus comments cops end end up being a shorter novel when I am done. We will see. #thevickburgphoenix #upcomingbookrelease #booksky #davidleehotaling

If you could read only one genre what would it be? For me it would likely be historical fiction. #reading #booksky #favegenre #davidleehotaling #fiction

Prayers for my family as my nana fell this am and broke her hip and stuff. #prayers #davidleehotaling

Gym this morning then line edits for the rest of the day. #edits #booksky #thevicksburgphoenix #davidleehotaling

Line edits are back now for some rewriting and fixing a bunch of things. #lineedits #thevicksburgphoenix #davidleehotaling

Why so line edits seem to take forever? #editing #thevicksburgphoenix #davidleehotaling

Really struggling to do line edits lately mental health is in the toilet. #mentalhealth #youmatter #davidleehotaling

When life deals you a blow sometimes you got to hit back with everything you have. #hardtimes #life #davidleehotaling

It amazing to me how a line editor can help flush out things that developmental edit doesn't catch. #youneededitors #makeyourworkbetter #indieauthor #davidleehotaling #booksky #thevicksburgphoenix

My final cover design for each format though it's going to be nice when edits are finished and we get sound engineer. Can't air for my first audio book. #goals #thevicksburgphoenix #davidleehotaling #booksky

The manuscript is getting proof read. #proofreading #thevicksburgPhoenix #davidleehotaling

So today I am working on acknowledgments for my latest book. Some people have come to help I never expected but they all helped. Thank you #acknowledgements #davidleehotaling

Wow this feels so surreal I have things coming together soon for things done professionally, edits, formatting and cover design as well alpha and soon arc readers. #arcreaders #thevicksburgphoenix #davidleehotaling #novella #civilwarfiction

I am trying to figure out the Google forms and book funnel thing for arcs. #arcreading #bookfunnel #googleform #davidleehotaling

Cover concepts for my upcoming novella. Really like the one on the left but the font is hard to read. Not the final but it's getting close and my first professionally done cover. #indieauthor #thevicksburgphoenix #davidleehotaling #book #booksky

So for those that don't know I rewriting my trilogy into hepatology or seven book series. #davidleehotaling #ecoseries #robertjock

Rewriting can be fun. Still need motivation though and 3 cups coffee and only 3 sentences today. Feels like bust. #authorproblems #davidleehotaling

Working on building up a few alpha readers for my upcoming historical fiction novella that takes place in the civil war. #davidleehotaling #civilwar #thevicksburgphoenix

Want a shorter western? How about a real book under 6 bucks? This novella about Levi who gunsmith that has wanted to change his life to becoming a Texas ranger set in 1836 before the wars that would make Texas a state. A work of fiction. #fiction #savinggladius #davidleehotaling #booksky
