Hello Readers

Hi,

Thanks for reading my post. There’s a chance this is just a test post so I can make sure I connected my facebook page correctly.

Yup. Definitely a chance of that.

This is where I’d put a book update if there was one. I guess I could update by saying I’m working on a book three. Book two is printed out and has notes already written on it. I might have already updated this. I don’t remember.

Okay, bye.

Oh Hey! Look it’s a Post

Snazzy title.

Hello readers. Decided I needed to make a post since the sale mentioned in the previous post was over. So hi, how’s it goin’?

Lots of Out of Light editing this week, I always get into a frenzy near the middle. First I procrastinate before a certain chapter, then I rush through the rest because I get too caught up in it!

Um, well. That’s it. Thanks for reading.

Out of Darkness Sale Thingy

hi readers.

Out of Darkness is on sale this week, in case you wanted to know that. Here’s a nifty link https://www.amazon.com/dp/B079PSMDJR We’ll call it the “Tweaked Cover Sale” or something like that. Sounds legit. Only the eBook version because that’s just how it rolls I guess.

That’s the whole post, I didn’t think of anything else to write while I was typing that. So here is a picture of some kittens I wish existed.

Well, obviously they exist, just not in those colors.

Things I’ve Learned.

That’s an awfully vague title, but I didn’t feel like putting “Thinks I’ve Learned Since I Hit Publish on Out of Darkness Three Months Ago.” because that seemed absurd.

Anyway, I’ve realized a couple things over the past few months, that will help (me) a whole heck of a lot when I go to publish Out of Light.  Not the writing part, who even cares about that. (Kidding.)

Here is a small, unordered list of things that I’ve realized the past couple days.

  • You can’t just slap an ebook cover on a paperback. It just doesn’t look as good as you think. You need a spine/back cover.
  • Figure out your measurements. Otherwise, your cover is gonna be wonky.
  • Trust (some of) your instincts. If you’re uneasy about how it looks on screen, you’re probably going to be the same once it prints.
  • Proofread your blurb and bio. Three times. Maybe more.
  • Making other people format your stuff is good. (thanks ax)
  • It’s unhealthy to refresh the sales page 50 times per day.

I had more, but I got distracted. I really need to start writing these away from the main computer.

Till next time!

Note to self: Proofread everything.

 

PS: I have no updates on Out of Light, just been editing it up. Gonna start putting it up on Scribophile soon for initial fixes. Then I have to find a beta reader again I guess. Oh, also I’ve sold over 60 copies of Out of Darkness.

(Yes, that number is 61.)
