Still I re-edit the novel even in this phase. I guess I can't completely get it to the way I like it though it is being published this year... this July... I guess it's alright though. My Editor is also working heavily on it for me so between our minds we should get it to where I can stand it.
I do fear that means that I don't know if I can re-read it because I might try to push back its publication. Ah well... I will continue and it will be ready I swear that to you.
Characters...characters... characters... that's what I keep working on. Some minor tweaks here and there and making sure that it's not too confusing... but I think after three years this novel will finally see the light it deserves.
I pray and do hope that it will so that I might enjoy reading it again in paper back.
That is so exciting! Are you going to have a release party? This deserves a major celebration. The release day is coming up.
ReplyDeleteMajor Congrats.
I'm not 100% sure if I am or not... I don't know what I want to do yet besides make sure it's completely ready. I was told I should do a contest and give the winner a free autographed copy but I don't know what contest to begin.
ReplyDeleteIt's always hard to just put a book down and let it be done xD But I'm sure it is more than fine :3
ReplyDeleteI would suggest and art contest ^_~ but that might be because that is my own strength.
A contest for a free copy of your book would normally consist of you saying "comment on this post" and then you'll draw a name from a hat. That's how a lot of writers do it, though you can do something fancy too, like say "post your favorite ____ in this post" or something fun and playful. Most writers just say, "comment in order to have your name in the hat" and leave it at that.
ReplyDeleteI did this once, but only had 3 people put their names in, so I would suggest finding other social networks that you can get people to link to your blog from to post a comment for the free book, like announce the contest on facebook and myspace.
I totally feel you on this. We all want our novels to be PERFECT-- but hopefully we can all get to the point where we're satisfied.
