I released Larkspur in March of last year. I had a lot of fun, even editing it and releasing new covers, promoting. I started Delphinium not too long after that, a few months, and got off to a great start. I had 9K in a few days. I had a release date planned, a party on facebook.. and then life, or depression, or school got in the way.
I had to tell the facebook party, 40 people who cared enough to want to know the second my book was out, that I was pushing the date back. I did that.. several more times. After I messed up the first or second time I just couldn't get myself out of the hole.
It's late February. I still don't have book 2 done. I feel like I failed those that liked my story, and if they were interested in the sequel they aren't anymore. I suppose the super-winter we're having on the east coast isn't helping my emotions, but this isn't the first time I've felt like this.
Thought it would get easier, the doubt and worry, after the first story was done. Somehow it managed to get worse.
Sorry for the whiny rant.
