This post is part of the monthly blog hop/therapy session known as the Insecure Writers Support Group, founded by the one and only, Alex J. Cavanaugh. If you're a writer, insecure, or just supportive of writers—insecure or not—please join us. It happens the first Wednesday of each month.
It would be sweet of you to visit at least a dozen or so new blogs and leave a comment. Your words will be appreciated.
Happy New Year to all ye Merry Writers!!!
Ready to ring in a new year of writing?
Me too!
Today’s question for the first IWSG blog of 2018 is:
What steps have you taken or plan to take to put a schedule in place for your writing and publishing?
For me...
It wasn't a step but a shift.
I can’t say what it was or what caused it...
But one morning in mid-December when I woke up...
I felt the fear of self-publishing shift out of neutral...
And zoom into high gear.
Even before the new year began...
I hired an artist to design a cover...
It’s already done and I love it!
I also hired an editor...
For one last go-round of edits (does it ever end?)...
And thank the lord there were only a few minor fixes.
Already in place now are freelancers...
To format the pages to upload the manuscript...
Into Createspace and other self-publishing platforms...
To design and maintain an author webpage...
Then to market the hell out of my book—AZAEL’S LOT...
And all because of Fiverr (no, I’m not a paid endorser, just a believer)
That handy, dandy, reasonably priced freelancer site...
And of course, of course, of course...
I'll be checking all the excellent resources...
On the IWSG website for self-publishing. http://www.insecurewriterssupportgroup.com/p/self-publishing.html
And definitely, I’ll keep y’all posted throughout the year...
Especially the launch.
So?
What are your plans?
Always, Em-Musing
