Keeping my promise of sharing my writing and publishing journey.....

📘As Rewriting My Happily Ever After - A Memoir of Divorce and Discovery gets closer to publication, the busy days continue. Lots of pending items were in the air last week and some have landed.

🎯 With 9 weeks to launch, here's a list of 5 things that I have done this week.

1️⃣ I setup my publsihing account on Amazon but I am looking at other platforms as well. Stay tuned.

2️⃣ A critical aspect of the book cover design involves all the stuff that goes on the back cover. Given the limited space, it's tricky to figure out what goes on the book and what goes in the summary on the online platforms. This was NOT easy 🤯

3️⃣ The author bio is another aspect of the back cover that feels really difficult to write. Strange that I wrote thousands of words inside the book but the outside was the bigger problem!

4️⃣ Getting all the interior text, back cover details, and book size ready for the cover was no simple feat.

5️⃣ Uploading all the disparate pieces into a platform and keeping my fingers crossed for a print book to come out of the black box is like trying to understand a magic trick while simutaneously waiting to be amazed.

There's lots more to do. But at least I feel I am moving closer to the goal.

✍ Writing energised me but it was also a solitary activity. Now I have to work with differnt people, manage expectations and timelines and ensure no ball is dropped. But well, what can I say, it's all part of the process.
