How to Write "Good" Now Published!
So How to Write Good is now published! :D
It's a short book (100 pages) but since it's a reference book I didn't want to pad it out too much.
You can get it for Kindle HERE for 99-cents (US) (or, if you are a Prime user, borrow it for free!).
Don't have a Kindle? Amazon has FREE ereader software for your PC, so you can read Kindle books on your comp!
Want a hard copy? You can order the paperback HERE for $3.65 (US)!
It feels so good to be done!

NEW BOOK COMING OUT TODAY!
So I managed to finish my how-to book 3 weeks ahead of schedule, mostly because I wanted to spend that time working on Terrorscape, the 500 page nightmare.
It is about writing, and writer etiquette, how not to be a badly behaving author, and self-publishing tips, basically. I also included short essays on fanfiction, common grammatical errors, and the importance of not butchering foreign languages. Sort of a catch-all, but not really because it's only 100 pages so I'm sure I forgot something.
If you are not interested in writing, you may want to give this a miss, else you are likely to be a little bored. Also, this is not a gossip sheet- the only people mentioned in here by name are praised, not condemned. 'Cause homie don't play that.
Errr. So yeah. It should be ready for purchase in about eight hours.
Also, good news on the paperback! It should be under four American dollars!
:D!!!
Short books = cheap books!
Thank you all for your support. I am super excited about this. My seventh book! Eeee. *swoon*

EVEN MOAR SQUEE
Fearscape is #1 on this list!
http://www.goodreads.com/list/show/21...
The title is "I Love You But I Must Kill You." I admit to voting my book on there because the title is just so Val/GM...but still, it's nice that other people found the list and thought of me. :D
Thanks for giving me things to squee over. <3

Something Else to Squee About
I don't check my Createspace account as religiously as I do my Kindle account (i.e. every five minutes :P), but I logged in today and saw something pretty cool that I'd like to share...
I've sold 50 hard copies of all my books in toto! Which may sound like not all that much, but considering that I am vanity published and the books are still somewhat expensive (eep) I consider that a most astounding sum!
So thank you! <3
