The Day Before Release Day
It's hard to believe release day is almost here. I have uploaded the final manuscripts to all of the sites, and now I wait.
I feel relieved and nervous at the same time. It's a pretty big deal sending a book out there into the world—especially since this series was 17 years in the making. Authors sometimes compare producing a book to birthing a baby. After working on this for so long, I feel like I've raised a child almost to adulthood.
Here are a few of my thoughts leading up the final hours before the release:
1.I'm really releasing a book. Am I crazy?
2. Wait, did I update all the sites to correct that typo I caught?
3. This cover is so pretty...
4. It's great to hear from so many old friends and have their support.
5. Google Play, why do you hate me???
6. Amazon is awesome.
7. Yes, I'm crazy.
8. Okay, I think I have everything in order. I've got this. I think...
9. The cover really is so pretty... (thanks, Tom!)
10. Crap, now I need to finish Volume 2.
I'm proud of what I've created. I live in the universe inside my head, the characters are my friends, and I am committed to telling their story. I hope others want to come along for the ride.
