      <description>&lt;![CDATA[Now that I’m done with all three ebooks of The Package all I need to do is work on the paperback. So far, it’s on hold because my book cover designer is currently making mine. Sketch design, blurb, and all the necessary stuff are given to him.&#xA;&#xA;Projected completion date of the book cover is around two weeks minimum, a month maximum. So I have plenty of time to work on other projects like this blog, newsletter, and drafting an upcoming nonfiction ebook. Will give you more details later.&#xA;&#xA;Right now, I want some rest.&#xA;&#xA;writing&#xA;blog&#xA;bookcover&#xA;break&#xA;ebooks&#xA;newsletter&#xA;nonfiction&#xA;rest&#xA;&#xA;a href=&#34;https://remark.as/p/ernestortizwritesnow.com/a-little-breathing-room&#34;Discuss.../a&#xA;&#xA;!--emailsub--&#xA;]]&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;![CDATA[When it comes to my writing schedule I have it set in stone (for the most part). One week I’ll post on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. The next week I’ll post on Tuesday and Thursday. The weeks will cycle.&#xA;&#xA;Sometimes, I’ll post a prayer related article on a Sunday. If a holiday falls on a posting day or if I’m sick, I’ll take the day off. Finally, I’ll let you know if I need a hiatus.&#xA;&#xA;Thanks for your support and patience.&#xA;&#xA;writing&#xA;rest&#xA;schedule&#xA;&#xA;a href=&#34;https://remark.as/p/ernestortizwritesnow.com/rests-between-posts&#34;Discuss.../a&#xA;&#xA;!--emailsub--&#xA;]]&gt;</description>
