For this month, I had planned to do a detailed year-in-review update, but I decided to focus on finishing the manuscript instead. I am thrilled to report that those efforts have paid off, and I am mere days away from completing it.
I’ll save the recap for my next newsletter, going out in January 2022. In that email, I'll also provide some details about what’s next for this project. It’s unlikely I will have a publication date or anything of that nature, but I’m hoping to have a general timeline for the book’s release.
Before I go, I would like to say thank you. Thank you for reading these updates and taking such an interest in my work. Your support and enthusiasm over the years has helped to sustain me while working on this incredibly challenging project.
I hope you have a wonderful holiday season, and I'll talk to you soon!
Sincerely,
Nelson/Roberto
I had big plans for this fall, but unfortunately, I've been dealing with some minor health issues. It's nothing serious, but I have decided to take a few months off from the newsletter and content updates to focus on my health.
I forgot to mention in my last update that I was going on vacation in August. As a result, I didn’t have time to write a proper update this month. The newsletter will return in three weeks with another Beyond the Book post.
Over the past month, I queried three literary agents and took the most significant break from the book since I started the project in January 2016. Even though taking a break feels a little weird, it is nice to slow down and give the story (and myself) space to breathe.
