Editing

I have reread and reread my book.  Everytime I read it, I find something to change.  The more I read it, the more amazed I am that I wrote a book.  I like what I am reading and think it is good, So I am patting myself on my back.  I like the book that I have written.

I had my boyfriend take my picture for the website and the back of the book.  He has to love me, cause he took 5-6 pictures and I didn't like any of them.  I don't think I like the way I look.
He didn't get mad, and finally we agreed on one.  He used a digital camera, and that is good enough for me.  I am not going to have my picture proffesionally done, least not yet.

There are a lot of ways to save money.  I like the picture.

I am ready to hand my book over to my writer friend, who is going to get it on line for me.

I am getting excited. 

I know that there are people out there that tell you to make sure the editing is perfect and you should have someone to do it for you.  That is a great idea, if you have the money.

I say do your best.  No one is perfect.  Have someone else read your book for errors.  Let the book sit for a few days and then re read it. 

Sooner or later you will have to let the book go and start on the next one.

Writing When Sick

I didn't feel good the last two days.  I slept a lot, but I was still thinking about my writing.  I did sit on the couch with my laptop and did some writing, though that I know that I need to do rewrite, but I did write.  Today I feel better and hopefully I will get more pages into the computer.  I started the rewrite of a novel that has been rejected 20 times and I will get it back on the market. So that I it.  I am going to start writing and get this done. What are you working on??? This is a new year.....New Beginning. Let us follow our dream together check out my other blog: http://iamwalkingwithgod.blogspot.com/ Write Something Today

Don't Be Scammed

This is my number one pet peeve on being self published.  There are people, website, and courses out there, that want your money. THINK BEFORE YOU SPEND! There are websites out there that will charge you for services that you can learn to do yourself.  If you don't want to learn these things that is fine, pay for it.  But if the reason that you are paying for services is because you don't t think you can, you are totally wrong. I have said this before and I am saying it again.  I knew nothing when I started in 2011,  I had a computer.  I had no idea how to send a file via e-mail. I had no idea what to do one I got the file back from the formatter.  How do I get it uploaded on Amazon.  I had no idea that I had more than one drive on the computer.  I downloaded a file and had no idea where it went. If you are thinking that you can not learn this.  I am proof you can learn if you set your mind to it and are willing to learn. Don't...
