Hiatus

As you may have noticed, lords and ladies, I haven't quite been bringing my "A" game the past couple of months. Between increased responsibilities at work and a host of other demands on my time, I'm afraid I'm going to have to put Pimp My Novel on indefinite hiatus.

Not to worry—nothing terrible has happened/is happening. It's just that there are only so many hours in the day, and I know I'm not going to be able to do a consistent or good job with this blog once the Publishing Giant reawakens in September.

It pains me to write this, folks, since so many of you have been here since day one. You've encouraged me to write about the industry, shared with me (and your fellow writers) your tips, advice, stories, works in progress, successes, and setbacks, and I want to thank all of you for your time and generosity over the past two years. Seriously, y'all are the best.

So: thank you. Hopefully I'll be seeing (read: posting for) you again soon.

  1. thanks for everything you've done thus far and might do in the future.

    We're grateful, but a lot less important that your family and the people who actually pay the bills for you.

  8. Ohh...sorry to see you go, but I understand, totally. I feel the same way. I plan to make some changes to my own schedule in regard to book reviews and the like. I don't go on Twitter nearly as much as I used to.

    Hope things work out more smoothly for you. I look forward to seeing your informative posts again, sometime in the future. Take care, Eric :-)

  14. Thanks for everything. This is the only blog (besides my own) that I read every single post. It's educational in an entertaining way. What I guess I'm trying to say is: You Rock! Looking forward to getting you back at it soon. Maybe there are some loyal readers that you can enlist to assist part time.

  16. Darn, one of the most practical writing blogs, and it goes on hiatus a couple of months after I stumble onto it.

    Great closing pic from one of my favorite movies. Who else would have referenced "The Truman Show?" Fortunately, there are archives, and I've got a lot of catching up to do,

  23. Ouch! Well...maybe we can all contribute our own tips, and help each other that way. My favorite advice to new writers is to start with short fiction--until you've published AND BEEN PAID for five short stories (or articles, if you're a non-fiction writer) you may be rushing things to try a novel. It's like running a marathon when you've never run a lap!
