Flying Pigs Paperback is in the Works & Warped is No More
Hey there everyone. I wanted to post another update. It’s not all that exciting this week. Been busy this week with a surprise wave of job opportunities and a power outage. But this week was not completely wasted.
Earlier this week I created new book cover for Flying Pigs & Witches. I wanted it to look a little cleaner and ultimately went with brown tone instead of a red. Then I did a lot of formatting and trial and error to create a document and cover perfect for the paperback edition. KDP was a bit wonky when I did it. They published the paperback when I ordered my proof read copy which bothers me a little bit. Though I’m sure its fine, I really prefer to have the proof copy in my hands before a company does that. So I’m not going to be advertising it or sharing any links until I look through the physical copy myself.
Also one other thing is Warped. As go further and further into revising this book, it is dawning on me this book should have never been published in the first place. I wrote it when I was fifteen, thought it was great! I believed that it was just absolutely perfect and self-published it and some other stuff the moment I turned eighteen. I realize now I was really dumb to do that. My mindset was entirely different and quite childish, and the story is making less sense as I go on. My original plan was to clean it up through a revision, but I know now, this would not be a clean-up. This would be a full on rewrite, and I don’t have the time or determination to do something like that for a story I wrote when I was teenager. So it’s going away. It’s going away forever, because it never should have been published in the first place. Good God, I really wish there someone invited to a writing community or something as a teenager so I wouldn’t have been so naïve.
Beyond that, there is another audio chunk for anyone who may care. This week its Alice: Stone’s Story Part 6. You can check it out at https://youtu.be/V43ElcbMqww
Also if you support there are three ways to do so.
1) Buy purchasing the ebook on Amazon @ https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0776MR6CC
2) If you are Kindle Unlimited member, you can flip through the pages. I get a little bit of money for every page read. And every little bit helps.
3) Or by making a small donation on Patreon at https://www.patreon.com/user?u=10411921
Also given the nature of life right now, these blogs may become more sporadic. If the job market is picking up like it appears to in the last week, I am going to have to make that my priority. So my work these projects may slow down. I really need job. I make no money from my books. I really wish I sold enough to make a living, but I don’t.
