It's been a while since you heard from me, so I wanted to give you a quick update about what I’ve been up to.
I had big plans for this fall, but unfortunately, I've been dealing with some minor health issues. It's nothing serious, but it has been affecting my ability to sleep and the quality of sleep I get, which directly impacts my writing. In the grand scheme of things, it's a minor problem, and after seeing the doctor, I am on the mend.
However, I have decided to take a few months off from the newsletter and content updates to focus on my health. While I know this is the best thing for me, I am a little disappointed because a lot has been happening that I want to share with you. I hope to get back on a regular schedule in the new year and maybe even send out an end-of-year recap to fill you in on all the latest developments related to my book.
Until my next update, I wish you the best, and thank you for being part of my journey!
Sincerely,
Nelson/Roberto
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.
Even after taking most of June to recover from an absolutely crazy spring, I still managed to make significant progress on my book. I met award-winning author Reyna Grande and spoke with an editor who works at a major New York publishing house.
