A year ago, during the summer of 2012, I wrote I wrote the first short story of a series/anthology I have conceived.

I have edited this short story over 50 times, I think! I went though it over and over again, asked for help, for opinions, feedback and constructive criticism so that I could enhance this material and publish it.

I’ve been really lucky that awesome people crossed my way during the process of this story and helped me making it much better. (Their names are in the e-book acknowledgements and I will make a special blog post talking about it later on.)

When it comes to choosing between being self-published and published by a house, I didn’t think much to choose the first option. I REALLY wanted to experiment the “freedom” of self-publishing, and literally “having it my way”.

I enrolled on the Kindle Publisher Select program, and within some hours my e-book will be available for sale.

This project is very important for me because it is the possibility of bringing the world of my “painted” characters to readers worldwide. Yes, that’s because I am not a writer, but an illustrator who is writing for pure joy, when I have the time to do so!

Carpe diem!

Ps: On the next entry, when the e-book is finally for sale, I will talk more about the story and the process.
