Because this is the time of year to be frazzled. Funny how
Christmas is supposed to be a
season of love, but instead everyone's running around frantic till every last
one of their nerves are in tattered.
As a Grinch, I do my best to ignore the season altogether—December
for me is a month to get through, waiting for the world come back to its
senses. However, it's not so simple this year. I just finished putting together
my first semi-serious self-published book, Dead In L.A., and the formatting and creating various file types took me
most of a day, leaving me frazzled. And now I have to promote.
Not only that, but I decided to publish it as Print On Demand, using Createspace. this is the full cover--I'm still waiting to hear back from the review.
I have a novel coming out with Samhain Publishing at the end
of April, and the editing for it should commence any day now. It'll be my
longest book so far—73,000 words, and it's titled Spirit Sanguine.
No matter how hard I ignore the jingles, jangles, and cheesy
holiday musing infecting the airwaves, December doesn't promise to be a
relaxing month.
Oh, by the way, I'm delighted to see that the practice of
creating new words by smushing (mush+smash) other words together is a time
honored one.
Frazzled is a very good word. :)
