Seven months after I decided to go the indie publishing route, I have officially released my first book! It's wonderful and overwhelming and I can't really sleep and my stomach hurts.
But! I love it. I've gotten a few good reviews (yeah!) on Amazon and Goodreads, which is amazing! I'm waiting for a few more reviews to come through from an ARC site I used and hoping everyone enjoyed it just as much as the first two! It's been a busy week otherwise. I chose cover art for Dance for You. Spoiler alert: it's amazing. I might be biased, but I think my cover artist does a phenomenal job with her work, and she's kind and friendly to boot. I have one more beta reader going through it for me this weekend, and then next week I do the final read-through. The plan is to have it available for pre-order April 1. At the moment, I'm going through some edits for Waiting for You. I finished writing my first Happy Holidays book yesterday (woohoo!) and if you're a writer like me, you need to step away from a work before diving into editing. Once I go through this round of editing Waiting for You I'll dive back into editing Happy Holidays #1. It's set to be my fastest turnaround yet, and will be the first book I publish across multiple forums (Nook, Kobo, iBooks, as well as Amazon). And... I signed up for Camp Nanowrimo! I've never done it before, and we all know what happened during regular Nano this year (I wrote too much and had to scrap nearly 20k words which hurt my heart a lot), but I have a plan. My goal is 30k, so it will be just enough for me to finish writing a novella. Then, I'll use the rest of the month to work on some edits. I hope you are having a lovely mid-March. We had snow last week, snow today, but yesterday it was 60! The midwest is weird. But at least the ice is gone. Happy Friday! Love always, Lucy
