I’ve established a rhythm of editing my second manuscript: do one chapter a day. That may seem like a minor goal, but it really does work. Three chapters are already done. One more will be done today. As the work continues, I may be able to edit two chapters in one day. That would be good as I still have to develop the history of my new world and create a religion. A writer’s work is never done.
Are you following me on Twitter? My Twitter account is @alanlampeauthor in case you need it. I have two promotions going on right now. Many people are liking and retweeting the promotional tweets, helping me grow my tribe. Recently, I started tweeting daily Louisiana history facts. I’m still not a marketing expert, but I have a better understanding of how Twitter works. The results are pretty good. Hopefully, between the promotions, retweets, and my own work, my hashtag #rompintheswamp will actually become a trend.
It’s been a while since I used the phrase history doesn’t write itself. It gets analyzed to death by all sides, but it doesn’t write itself. Everyone has their own version of history. And we all believe our own version of history is the only truth. Sadly, it doesn’t look like this will change anytime soon.

What I’m Reading – Many readers I know like to inquire what their favorite author is reading. At the end of each blog post, I’ll let you know what book is open on my Kindle. I hope my choice of reading material inspires you to read a variety of authors and topics. Currently, I’m reading book eleven of the Ellis Peters’ Brother Cadfael series, An Excellent Mystery.
Bill’s Cajun House of Pleasure is available on Amazon, as an eBook, and in physical formats. It is also available on the Barnes and Noble website.
