Funny how just posting that I know when my release for next book on facebook got gobs of people coming out of the woodwork to either LIKE, or make a comment, like "can't wait", that sort of thing happens. There's people there that I didn't know even stopped in to see what I'm doing. People I have not even gone to visit in ages! But I guess it's probably on Page Feed, which is a great way to see what everyone's up to, so maybe that's how everyone knows about it. I think.
So, yep. My publisher told me the first edits are finished (thank goddess!), and second edits will take much less time (yes, because the first ones took MONTHS), and my book is first in line in the queue for publication. (YAY!!!!)
I'm relieved to know this because I sort of feel like they forgot about me or something. But also, I know that these things take time, and sometimes other things get in the way, or make things difficult, like--oh, I don't know--a storm that puts everyone under the ocean. Well, not really effecting my publisher so much, since they're in Mass., but I figure other stuff can happen to hold things up. Plus I'm not their only author.
And I do have a lot of respect for getting a book out there, ready to be printed as well as placed into places for ebook sales, because I see what the Indies have to do in order to get it done themselves. But the editing has got to be tedious and time consuming. God knows I've got grammar issues and other stuff that makes my writing in need of editing.
But tonight I'm happy to know that my book is actually going to have a launch. Now, if only my publisher will find the ellusive wonderful cover. He told me that he's found some but weren't quite good enough.
So, that's the news. I hope next time I post it will be with a cover photo and closer to when it will be out.
Lorelei, that is great news! I know you must be excited. At least you know it will be coming out soon! Can't wait to read it. And yes, editing is a tedious job! I edit my manuscripts and sometimes for friends, too. But it is necessary and important to do it well. Take care and good luck!
ReplyDeleteYep, Lena. I am excited. I had hoped it would be out by now, but everything takes time. Thank you for your well-wishes and coming over here to leave comment (^;
ReplyDeleteGood for you, Lorelei!
ReplyDeleteThese things really do take time. Every detail has to be seen to at this point... that's pretty much where I'm at too.
Thanks, William. This is what I'm hearing from others, that it does take time. I'm just happy to know it's going to be out soon.
