Nutty Chitter from a Caffeinated Critter
Today is the first Wednesday of the month. That means, it’s time for Insecure Writer’s Support Group! You can find the sign up for the IWSG here. We owe Alex J Cavanaugh a huge thank you for thinking this blog hop up. I need advice. I’m a non-confrontational person who enjoys keeping friends happy and…
Carrie Butler is celebrating her blogiversary! She’s hosting a blogfest called How I Found the Write Path. See who is participating, and sign up yourself. The Prompt: Please write a letter/note to yourself when you first started writing toward publication. Since I often talk to myself (in third person even), this was easy. Below is…
“Writing is like giving yourself homework, really hard homework, every day, for the rest of your life. You want glamorous? Throw glitter at the computer screen.” ― Katrina Monroe Monday night, I had my first book signing event. It was fantastic. I wore a fancy dress. I saw old friends. I met new people. There…
Today is a very special day. Today is Release Day. Thanmir War is live on Amazon. And the best part is, today, it’s free! You can find it on Goodreads. And Amazon has it available for purchase. It’s my deepest hope that you find the story enjoyable and entertaining that you’d want to tell your…
Yes, I know, I look like an idiot. I said November 5th, then the 19th. Well, the release date has been pushed to December 5th because I botched something in the details. But it’s really going to happen this time. The book is on Goodreads, so that must count for something. This image on the…
I had planned on releasing Thanmir War on November 5th. Well… The changes I alluded to in my post Panic have taken a little bit more time to implement than I had planned. And since I don’t want to release shoddy work, I’m pushing out the release date by two weeks. November 19th is the…
I started shaking the other day. It took me the entire day to calm down. I even started crying once–tears of overwhelmed terror. Don’t worry. I’m over it now. Thanmir War has been with me for half my lifetime. It has been *the* story I’ve toiled endlessly over, dreamt about, stewed on, and built upon…
I’ve made my decision. I’ve decided on a release date for Thanmir War. I’ve set my release date as November 5th, 2013. Why November 5th? It’s a Tuesday, and traditional book releases take place on Tuesday The baby is due late September, but may arrive early October It’s before the holidays This gives me three…
Last Friday, I came home and found a box awaiting my arrival. My CreateSpace copies had arrived! Things I would change: Greater top and outside margin. The top margin was a little too high for my liking. And the outside margin didn’t quite seem to match up with the inside. Design cover off the right…
I submitted my files for CreateSpace review today. I finally decided to finish fiddling with interior formatting. I had reviewed The Book Designer documentation, referenced my sister-in-law’s books, and reached the edge of my frustration and creativity. Interior formatting wasn’t as easy as I’d thought it’d be. Well, it probably would’ve been if I had…
