Keeping up.

So I received my first 3 star review on Keeping Her.  My editing still leaves much to  be desired.  Didn't capitalize all my Demons.  I fixed it, so thanks for pointing it out.  The funny thing is such a small thing can make you doubt yourself.  After I sold about a 100 copies I had to go through and change a lot of typos and missed editing issues.  So the people who got my book after the first week will have a better edited book than the poor unfortunate souls who bought it the first week-Love you guys, by the way.  Anyway, these are all things I can fix, so I will go into my next release better edited and eventually I'll find a system that works, (or be able to afford a professional proofreader).  But it did worry me a bit, because I was always a good editor, and since I'm just starting out I get these crazy thoughts running through my head-its going too well.  My next book is going to totally flop.  I only think I'm going to make a living doing this because that would be WONDERFUL. - I can't keep up with all the rigamarole going through my head when I get all panicky. 

But then I open up an e-mail and someone from far away tells me I am an automatic buy, or that they read Keeping Her and can't wait! for the next one so I need to write faster!  Or my Blog has a comment from someone who encourages me to keep it up.  I get a great review from someone enthusiastic in their enjoyment of my book, and a Facebook "Like", or, well you get the idea.  You are all inspiring me and making me laugh and in some cases, cry really happy tears, so thanks, I can not tell you what your messages have meant to me. 

For those who seem to want a daily update, I'll be finished with "Loving Her" this month.  And after extensive editing it will be released, at the latest, September 1st.  If that changes, you guys who read my blog, or are on my e-mail  new release list, will be the first to know.
