Then panic set in and the rush to wrap up the project as the months, weeks, days and last minutes ticked closer. But I made it! What seems like tons of time quickly becomes those last few grains in the hour glass if you don't watch it carefully. Will be looking for your books in 2015!Nancy Gideonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07493107610530282642noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1268238247379169028.post-21323780042029752312015-01-08T19:48:35.271-08:002015-01-08T19:48:35.271-08:00Congratulations on your upcoming releases!
I mad...Congratulations on your upcoming releases! <br /><br />I made the same decision last year and set an Oct deadline for my first book. I was totally freaked out, nervous, worried, obsessive... and then once the book was out, all I felt was a sense of pride that I actually did it! The fear that others would read it turned to excitement, and the idea of reviews, while still daunting, has become just another part of the biz. <br /><br />I send the same wish to you that all the angst morphs into pride and joy. What an exciting time to be a writer!<br /><br /><a href="http://www.corinneoflynn.com/category/blog/" rel="nofollow">www.CorinneOFlynn.com</a><br /><br />Corinne Ohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02808893058098769844noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1268238247379169028.post-9928945907785914272015-01-08T06:39:32.443-08:002015-01-08T06:39:32.443-08:00I think being a former bookseller gives you a defi...I think being a former bookseller gives you a definite advantage in self-publishing, as you know the ins and outs of the industry.
