It was all worth it.

The giveaway went better than I had imagined. Over 900 people requested the 5 copies that I entered. Wow! Honestly, since the drawling was less than 4 days, I didn't think I would get 5 people to sign up. And now, through the Goodreads website, over 160 people have it marked as to read.!!! That shocks the heck out of me. So, with the painful process of conversion, I have made the eBook available on the Goodreads website. I am going to try and do a giveaway once a month. The website only allows you to do them within the first 6 months of publishing so…that's how many months I will do it. From here out though, I will only do one book at a time and it will be autographed.I am now out of book marks and have decided that this time around I will do business cards. There are plenty of sights out there that offer a lot of them for cheap. They are easier to pass out, can still be put in books, and carry all the same information while looking more professional. It looks like there will be another creepy photo-shoot on the 21st. Awesome. I know that people get slightly freaked out about the photos, but they are an attention getter for sure.The window graphic…still waiting, I hope it shows up tomorrow.I am happily mailing out a free copies tomorrow morning to two bands and a book blogger. (Yeah, finally! A blogger!) I sort of feel like I'm treading water right now, trying to figure out which way to swim. I just want as many people as possible to have the opportunity to read it if they want.And now for the down and dirty…A person approached me to tell me that they had read my book in two days.  "I actually thought it was really good. I liked it."  Cold as steel, Scary Carrie, it felt…indescribable. I wanted to bawl. I was so happy that one person in the whole world liked it. But since I was at work - I felt the color drain from my face, my throat tighten, my eyes prick, I smiled weakly and said, "Thank you." – As they started asking about the sequel. You cannot image the way I felt. All this time, money, stress, sleepless nights, headaches, anger and research – it was fully repaid in that one statement. It was all worth it.www.authorcvhunt.com
