Have to concentrate now...

I have been hard at work on marketing the upcoming paranormal book "Chasing Demons". It is an exhaustive process. I am wondering if I should have someone do this part. My first e-book report will be free to all come Oct. 1st. (Although there are several sites that have it for free already and I am okay with that as long as it is being read) That is when I will also start giving free previews of my next book. So, along with all that I am busy finishing my third book, which will be the first to have a professional editor. It will cost some money but it will be worth it. That one will be a Christmas release, I am hoping since the book takes place during the winter, so I think that will be a great time. Keeping my fingers crossed. So if you know of any good inexpensive editors, let me know, I will appreciate it. Now on with the typing!

Market a book before writing it?

I have read that before writing a book you have to implement a marketing plan. What if you do not know what direction the story will go? Sometimes a story veers off the path that you had outlined beforehand. So how do I market something if  I do not know what it will ultimately be? Any ideas of what I should do? Comment me.

Traumatic writing

Working on my new book, deals with depression and its effects on the family with the sometimes tragic end that seems to be inevitable. I have been without a job for about half a year, taking care of my sister. She is undergoing therapy and the medication seems to keep her numb from all feelings. The day to day struggle to keep my mind focused is exhausting, but writing about it seems to work.
