Earlier this week, I discovered that Kobo finally updated the price for Exile (Still no sign of it at other stores). Which should be good news, right? It would have been, if the price listed had been the 0.99 I entered at Publit. It wasn’t. Instead the price was 2.71 dollar. I cursed, and changed the […]
I am not certain how, but somehow I managed to write 50 pages this week. Which is impressive, since I had written 65 pages in total before September. To be fair, August was busy with travelling, work and preparing Exile for publication. Still, the first week have made me hope that I might finish […]
Yesterday on twitter, C. E. Murphy said she needed to write at least 50 000 words in September ( or was it 60 000? My mind was too busy boggling to pay close attention.) Then Adrian Faulkner challenged her to the great September Wordwars. Which means the one that writes most, wins. I just shook […]
1. Have a formatting checklist That is the biggest mistake I did. I didn’t write a formatting checklist that included things like add the cover design/ stockphoto credits. As a result, I had to reupload Exile 3 times. 2. Once you have hit published, you cannot fix things in the e-book. Which means you’ll have […]
Let me just say that healthwise this week sucked. It began on Wednesday when I had to cancel a work related conference since I had a sore throat. Then on Friday, my leg began hurting. According to Dad I have a pinched nerve in my lower back. In other words, my body didn’t like my […]
I had a great time in Dublin. I went to the Pseudonym panel, the Peaceful Science Fiction panel, the Celtic Gods panel, a panel about Cover art, and Catie’s party. All of them were interesting, and the moderators did a great job even if the panels went off topic occasionally. Especially the Celtic gods panel. […]
I had planned to wait for a couple of days before uploading it, but in the end I decided not to. I did the final read through and ran a spell check this morning, before I uploaded it to Publit. It is available at my bookstore and Kobo for free, and at other stores for […]
The proofread manuscript arrived in my inbox last night/ early this morning, so I have spent the morning proofreading Exile, and fixing the issues that Lillian had found. Then I spent the afternoon fixing the formatting. 🙂 There are some final touches needed, like adding the cover, a link to my newsletter, etc. But I […]
For the next two weeks, I’m on vacation from the day job. Not that I plan to have calm days, though. I’ll travel a lot. It begins tomorrow when I am going to the West Coast to see family of various kinds, and Thirzah. It will be so much fun! *glee* Then I am home […]
I finally found a font that I liked a couple of days ago, so I finalized the cover for Exile this morning. ( I had originally planned to use the font that is on the cover of Daughter of the Dark but it didn’t feel right for Exile.) I am really happy with the cover. […]
