So this time dealing with CreateSpace I had a bit of a cover issue. It happened at the same time my cover artist went out of town for a month. So what is an author to do? Well in my case, roll up your sleeves and get it fixed. So after some trial and error and few back and forth emails I got it fixed.
Today I opened my door to find the box sitting there waiting for me. With glee I ripped open the package and there it was, ASHES. It is my second book, but still I feel like someone needs to wake me up. There is something magical about having an idea, working it into so many words and then having a physical thing appear on your doorstep.
Well now it is fully here, and both book types are available on Amazon. I feel like I can truly breathe now. I will probably stop staring at it and carrying it around with me at some point—but not quite yet.
This month has been pretty awesome so far, and in a few days I get to share some awesome people's work, be sure to come back Sunday for the first of those. Then Wednesday for the next. I can't wait.
Anyway, have you had the chance to hold your book in your hands? As always have fun and keep writing.
it's a great feeling... it's a whirlwind!
ReplyDeleteIt is. I may get used to it one day. But I hope I don't.
DeleteThat is awesome! You managed. Feels good to hold your own book, doesn't it?
ReplyDeleteYeah had to, have a few that don't read eBooks. It does feel good.
DeleteThe feeling is *almost* as good as holding your babies (the human ones) for the first time.
ReplyDeleteNot quite the same but almost :P Enjoy the feeling!
It is almost there.
DeleteVery cool. I haven't written a book, but when I was a reporter I got a kick out of seeing my byline.
ReplyDeleteLove,
Janie
That is cool. I think it is the same no matter what we create.
DeleteCongratulations! Isn't it amazing the things you find yourself doing when you originally had no idea you would ever go there? I'm so glad you were successful and holding the product in your hand - wow what better proof?
ReplyDeleteNeed some help getting the word out? Send me an email - yolandarenee@hotmail.com I'd love to host you on my blog!
It really is amazing. That would be great I'll shoot you an email.
DeleteI hope to know what that feels like one day! Congrats, Brandon. Does it seem totally unreal?
ReplyDeleteIt is. I have both books on my desk and I just find myself looking at them thinking, "Really?" lol
DeleteOh wow that's awesome! Congrats!
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you were able to figure out how to fix the cover issues. Congratulations! You must be so excited!
ReplyDeleteI am, very. It was a little stressful, but I finally got it.
