Five days to go!
Well, it’s nearly the 1st July, and the official launch of my novel, but I must confess, I was so excited to receive the first order of them, that I just started selling them! Have sold twenty already and have already received some excellent feedback! Still a few typos, but considering I’ve found typos in traditionally published books, Im not going to worry about it too much! Anyway, in just five days time, the book will be available on Amazon, Kindle and Completely novel as well as directly from myself! Check back here in a few days for all the links!
It’s oh, so quiet…. shhhh….shhhh
What can I say? I’ve been enjoying this amazing weather we’ve been having in the UK, and I have been so very busy, but I have been quite quiet on here, it seems no matter how many times I tell myself I will blog regularly, things get in the way and conspire against me… or maybe it’s just that I love to procrastinate 🙂
I have made quite a lot of progress on the sequel, which I’m sure is of no interest to anyone yet, seeing as I haven’t got the first one out into the world yet, but it feels good to know that if anyone does happen to want to know what goes on after the first novel when they do get their hands on a copy, then they wont have to wait too long because I’m planning on getting it out there hopefully before the end of the year.
I’m feeling a little strange at the moment. A little like I’m in a weird kind of limbo. I’ve got a new job, which I’m impatient to start, I’m staying on at my old job to do the odd day here and there, I’ve got a million and one things to do, and yet I feel… antsy. I feel like I need to get out there and DO something. But I don’t know what, where or who with or why. I wish I didnt have to wait until I have paid off debts and saved up money to go travelling, I want to go now. I don’t want to keep editing my book, I want to publish it now. Hmm, I think I should cure this bout of impatientness (yes, I realise that’s probably not a word) by going into the bluebell woods and sitting in my favourite spot and doing some writing. Either that, or finding an old friend to meet up with, I need to do something…
So this is what it would be like…
Well, I have the day off today, and I have spent it (once I managed to get up at 10am oops) editing my novel. Of course I have showered, eaten, done the washing up etc etc, but on the whole, I have been editing feverishly. And I am nearly there! I think, oh dear, maybe I shouldn’t put that, the last time I made such grand statements of nearing completion, I ended up doing a mammoth edit. But this time, it does feel as though I am getting closer. And that maybe I should have trusted my big sister and gone for a publishing date that’s a bit sooner. Well, it’s not set in stone, so maybe I will publish before the 1st of July.
It occurred to me earlier, that if I were to actually live my dream of being a full time writer one day, then it would be pretty much like today. I would be sat in the the sunlight, typing away, considering plot twists, playing with new ideas for charcters, and polishing my words until they’re shiny. I quite like it. I would obviously need to engage in some activities that would involve interaction with other people at some point, just so that I have things to write about, if nothing else. But this life of serenity and solitude is something that I think I would quite enjoy. Of course, to be a successful writer these days, you have to promote your book and sell yourself relentlessly, but I’m sure that there would be periods of time where it would just be me, my laptop and the endless sea of my imagination. Until that time when I can do this full time, I will just savour these moments, as they are my calm in the midst of the organised chaos that is my present life.
Posture Problems…
Went to see a physio today, I’ve had pain in my right shoulder blade for months now, and apparently the problem is my neck, more than likely caused by sitting on the settee, hunched over my netbook while watching TV… Of course, as I write this, I am absolutely NOT sat on the settee hunched over my netbook while watching TV………… yeah, okay, I’m lying. So writing does have its drawbacks. Neck problems, back problems, RSI…. obviously, it’s worth it… well, at least it will be when I’m making my millions and I’m able to get a massage every day!
So, a new plan of action is in place, which involves a trip to Ikea! I’m getting myself a table and some bookshelves, and will be using my netbook primarily while sitting properly at the table in my room… well that’s the idea anyway, I’ll let you know if it actually happens! I’ve promised myself that I will do my best to please the physio lady – I think she could be quite scary if she wanted to be! Besides, I’m tired of the back pain too, so it should be worth it. I also love any excuse to go to Ikea!
Well, in an effort to change my posture, I’ll sign off here, and hopefully get my first early night in a while!
