How mad, Ive actually lost count on what day I'm on. lol.
Things have been so hectic and mad, even if I was an octopus I still wouldn't have enough arms to do what needs doing.
I have just seen the first samples of the illustraions for the eBook, wow, they are amazing. seeing your characters come to life, there is no greater feeling in the world, you have your own image in your head of what they will look like and granted no one can ever get in your head and copy them, but when you then get to see the pictures through someone elses eyes of what they see your characters to be is amazing. I am so proud of my illustrator and can't wait for the final drafts.
Well the first book has been redreafted to go into eBook format and ready and waiting, I am now working on getting the second in the series reformatted for eBook.
I never thought I would get back the buzz for writing the way I have.
I just don't want to stop which is just as well because if I stop now, it will all fall apart.
A couple of weeks ago when I first decided to go down the route of self publishing, I enquired on two seperate self publishing firms, two of the biggest actually, this was before I looked into their company a little more. I have recieved email from both companies both stating that I now have a personal advisor working with me to finish the process of using their company, er I don't think so, I think you will find that is MY decision not yours. I haven't even decided if I am going to use your company yet let alone have a personal advisor to finish what I started.
So if anyone else is going down this route please be aware this is YOUR project no one elses and it is down to YOU who you chose. Don't feel obligated because they have decided to give you a personal advisor to go with that company. Do your homework, check out you tube and find out what other people who have had experience with these companies have to say.
As I said in an earlier post, each company has their own downfalls, it's down to you what you are after.
Anyway, I also have now found someone to do my audiobooks, who wishes to remain anon. So looks like we are finally getting somewhere.
The website? Don't get me started on the website. lol. I am now in the process of changing webhosts, this is due to the one I was using keeps adding to what it will cost me to set up my site, because I wanted a shopping cart added to my site they are now asking for more money. Not going to happen.
By the looks of it the best site to use is Dah Dah Dah............
Justhost.com yes you have to pay for a year upfront but then thats it done, also they give you live help whenever you need it. So thats the new one for me. They have everything you need to set up your website, all the tools for everything you can think of and if you get stuck, just use the live help and someone will talk you through it. thumbs up for Justhost.com.
So thats where I'm up to for now, will blog again soon, I promise.
