A PSA brought to you by the letter F
Well we are 2 days away from release. I plan on drinking a lot and devouring my thin mints over the next few days. I have a new shot glass (gifted to me by my fabulous editor) that needs to get some miles on it.
Fireball...prepare to die.
I started the third book last night. The first chapter was 10 minutes from being finished when all hell broke loose in my apartment building. Let’s just say the new people above me are assholes and I will be counting down the days till I move out…even though there is no date for that particular event yet. They have 2 dogs (I think) and were barking, playing, and doing loud dog stuff till 2 am. Needless to say I’m tired.
I prepped everything last night on amazon, nook, and createspace. I know I said I’d publish on smashwords too but that will come later. I want to try formatting that one myself. A project for when I need to let my brain settle from writing. Singe is with my alpha reader. I haven’t touched it in 2 weeks and will leave it be for at least another week to 2 weeks. Then edit, revise, rinse and repeat. Singe is set to release at the end of summer. So somewhere around August or September. I plan on doing a book every 6 months. Next week I’ll be doing author pictures with the lovely and talented Adriane from Wraven Design. This weekend I’ll be trying on everything I own and deciding that everything I own is crap.
This week I have been having mini freak outs over Spark (and the series in general.) I’ve finally (hopefully) convinced myself that I shouldn’t worry about what people will think. This book isn’t for everyone. The language, content, and genre wasn’t written with any one person in mind. I wrote this book for me. To be honest it wasn’t even going to be published. When I started Hailey’s story it was short scenes posted online. Then I compiled those and found I had a story there. So I expanded and adjusted. But still, I wasn’t seriously thinking of publishing. I wrote as a release like some people run. It was my escape (along with reading) and once I started it just flowed out of me. Once it was done, I decided that I could publish it. No one was stopping me from doing it. No one but me. So I stepped out of my way, bowed with a little flourish of the hand, and let myself move into self-publishing.
The point is, I wrote this for me.
No you.
That sounds bitchy but you know what I mean. I hope you enjoy it but if you don’t then so be it. At least you read something. And when It comes down to it, that is what it is all about.
Read and read often.
