Book Display

The book display is up and running. Only sold one book, not that bad. I actually expected to not sell any...at all. Sad but true. My taste and style of writing is not for everyone, which I do not blame people for. But, I am still in shock over the fact that my display actually turned out rather nice. The idea that I thought would not work did. Is it wrong that I want to set my goal at selling 5 books in total? It is not that much money, but it is still nice knowing that some people took interest in my book.

On a side note, my grandma and dad are really pushing the idea that I get my name out there and start to write to agents and real publishers so I can get officially published. Alas, they do not know that this takes a lot of time and effort and means a lot of rejection letters. Rejection I can do, but I do not know if they can handle it. I guess that is what I will be up to over Christmas break. Writing letters to agents to make them want to get me published. The question I have is, "Am I really good enough that an agent or publisher will want me?" Horrible thoughts to think of but sometimes being realistic is the best way.

For all the people that are waiting to read my next book I am halfway through typing it up. I did not realize it was going to be as long as it is. The only thing I can look forward to is that when I edit the word count goes down and it becomes more in tune with the entire concept. It is not my best book but even the books I find that I sucked at writing could be someone's favourite. I can aim to be done for Christmas break but that takes time and effort and I am slowly plugging along with it while I try to finish writing out my novel. I am close to the end of that one as well. It's hard to keep up with work, school, and writing...I guess I should mention a somewhat social life. Hence the word 'somewhat'.

I will keep everyone updated. It is a good idea to have support close to me when I need it the most.

One week today!

So I am pretty much ready to go and place down all my stuff for the book showing. The books will hopefully arrive no later than monday so I may just have to pick them up after work.

About the author and the novel should be completed tonight and will get Grandma to revise. She loves novels and being involved so I could not say no. The husband helped organize and decide what tables each section printed off should go in. Looks pretty good! Once everything is set up I will provide pictures for all to see on here, and on facebook too. Not all people will go, which is understanding.

With all this work and excitement I have begun writing again. Writer's Block is gone! Much needed break from writing but now I am itching to finish the book. The needing to end it is taking over my dreams.

And if everything goes well after this month I will push hard to self-publish another one of my books.

One week everyone!!!! Hope that people will go take a look at it and even buy a drink from Fine Grind. Fantastic drinks there for both coffee lovers and people who don't like coffee!

Almost time!

Well I have not written on here in a long time it seems. I guess school has kept me somewhat busy. Not too surprising. Just ordered 10 copies of my book for the book showing and will print off my work once the hubby gets home. Need all the help I can get.

Current book writing is going at a slow pace. I know exactly how I want to end it but getting there is taking some time. I will hopefully find the inspiration to finish it. Well, today I feel like I am in the mood to write. :D

Progress!!!

So, finally reached page 150 typing. My fingers hurt a little, but for not being in a typing mood, typing up nearly 15 pages in one night is a good sign. Hubby kept telling me to type when I got distracted, but I still reached my goal.

In the handwriting front I filled my HUGE 192 page writing book down to the very last line. Now I am writing in a much nicer, portable and smaller book. Less weight, but means just more little books to fill up before I finish this novel.

Everything that I am doing right now writing wise is making progress. Just have to be a little patient with myself when I am not in the mood to do any writing or typing. Lets hope I can accomplish more this week then last week. It would be a good sign with my writing.

Slowly making progress

So, I reached page 122 of typing up my book. I lost my typing groove. I had an inkling that that was going to happen. Outcome will more then likely be that my book will not be published by my birthday. A sacrifice that has to be made to keep my sanity.

The nameless book has been given a name. “Murder Never Dies.” Suitable for how I plan to end it whenever I get to that point. So many ideas, so little time to write in a day.

As well, heard good news. My dad told me that the girl he let borrow his copy of the book finished it in a night because she did not want to miss something. Now, if only I could write more books like that. Alas, my only talented book may be 1440, but I guess I will have to wait and see.

Shh….a little secret. Dad may have found a potential publisher. The hubby and I are elated and hope he likes my work. If so, must get my ass in gear and type up more of my books and write faster.  I so need to have more than one hand that can write. Must learn to write with my right hand and type with my left.

All the news currently. Hope to keep updating more once I get time to do more writing.
