Usage, Typos and Errors - Oh MY!
So, as a first-time author, it is terrifying to send your book out into the world, constantly fearing that your audience will think you an incredible idiot, who bored them to tears. Happily, so far (fingers crossed), most of you love my dear little Olive. Yes, there are typos, errors in usage, etc., but don't worry, dear reader, one day you will love them. There are only about 150 copies of my 1st edition and the second edition, sans most of the errors (we hope), will be out in the next month or two; so you will have an original that certainly does possess the aforementioned typos and errors and is a first edition. Let's be optimistic...the higher the sales, the better for you :-)
And yes, I did have 3 different friends help me edit my book. They did warn me that they kept getting lost in the story and forgot about the editing...I suppose that's actually a compliment. Just wanted to take a moment to thank you for the lovely reviews, they are wonderful.

The Beginning...
So, my first step into the world of "authors" and I am intimidated. Will anyone like my book? Will people be mean and horrible and tear it apart? I've always considered books some of the best friends
So, my first step into the world of "authors" and I am intimidated. Will anyone like my book? Will people be mean and horrible and tear it apart? I've always considered books some of the best friends I ever had, especially when I was a young girl. They were the best escape, the most fun and amazing. I hope somehow my little book finds friends in this world. We shall see. I have so much to learn, but know it will be an adventure.
