A spot of advice for any young aspiring writers out there.
Backlogs can be very useful.
Both in the sense of building a robust back catalog which I’m still in the process of doing with this pen but already the benefits are starting to show, for the more books you put out there the more chances there are for someone to stumble upon one or more of them, and to decide one or more of them fit their needs and buy them.
But also, and this is more of a do as I say and not as I do type of situation, in that keeping a ‘word backlog’ of completed but not yet published works can prove useful for times where you feel under the weather, like, say, oh this last couple of days.
Of course this applies more to short works then full on novels but even in those cases it can prove useful at times to have an extra novel or two ready and waiting…
