First and foremost, it wasn't easy. I have lost count of how many
drafts I completed before I had it self-published. And the funniest thing is
that I had thought for days after my second draft that my book was ready to be
published- believe it or not, there was no mention of Diane and the Queen
until the end of the book! And I had submitted that to Penguin and Panmacmillan
for consideration at that point- it was rejected of course, and I regret for
not giving myself more time before submitting.
Well a few days after that ideas came crawling into my head. After
each draft, I reviewed the book and added more changes- a lot of them.And the
process went on until I forced myself to stop this November. I still look back
to see if I could have made the story better- but oh well.
As of now still working with a proofreader to get the last of the
errors out from my book. And in a few days will consider sending it out to
another publisher. I hope it will work this time (fingers crossed)
But it seems that getting the book published on Amazon isn't the
end- marketing and promotion is to be done. How sad! I need to gather reviews
and promote my book for sales. Maybe then I'll have peace to continue working
with the draft of my next in the series soon.
