    Out of a Funk - a Newbie's Journey In Self Publishing

    PUBLISHING 
    I did a last pass of my book, by putting it into Word and getting it to read the book to me. I think I read about this method here on the forum? It helped catch a lot of these mistakes. Hmm, I could have written that about myself. I wonder if this is a common thing with people who are drawn to...

    I have set up a countdown for later this month. I'll let you know how it goes. I feel your frustration. It was the same for me when I started book two. In the end I walked away from the keyboard and started jotting down ideas in a notebook. After a while I found a couple of characters and a...

    I told myself I wouldn't do this. This is what I told myself I would do. Must work on discipline!

    This is interesting, because I was shooting for Amazon search terms and basing my results on that. I hardly ever buy books via the categories, but that might just be me. It's a shame that there isn't some data to see buyers routes to purchase. Though I have no evidence, it would make sense (in...

    A critical eye yes, but probably not enough interest of the genre. The New Forest. I love camping. A weekend away for the price of a family cinema visit. Work on the modified opening is going well, just very slowly. Back to the early starts tomorrow.

    Weekly update: A Friday update this week, as I'm taking my daughter camping at the weekend. Word count average for the week is 677/day. The launch of book 1 netted me zero sales! Well, that's not quite true, someone did buy it and instantly return it. I could tell from putting it on...

    Best of luck JustKris! Starting a progress thread on here has really helped me to focus. I hope it does the same for you. I'm looking forward to reading your updates.

    Weekly Update: Book 1 is published! Well, uploaded to Amazon at least. Word count average for the week is 631/day, just what I was aiming at. It has been a really busy week, but some late nights and early mornings meant I finished all of the little jobs for the upload of Book 1. I'm still off...

    Wow, that is fantastic! I can imagine that things like that are worth so much more than the sales figures.

    Weekly update: Word count average for the week: 655 words/day. Nowhere near where I wanted it to be, but I wasn't sitting on my hands... I have been working on the editing and cover for my finished first draft. Both have been more work than I imagined, but I'm not complaining, it is all new to...

    Weekly update: Word count average for the week: 1785/day. I took last Sunday off, and didn't manage to make up the lost words. I'm working on the editing of the romance thriller. I'm not sure how long it will take because this is my first time around, my goal here is to deliver the best...

    As someone who is trying to raise their word count, I'd love to hear a bit more about your process? I have just been through something very similar. I read through my first chapter and convinced myself that it was awful. It well might be, but I'd read it before and liked it. I'm looking...

    I thought that I'd finish my first draft, wizz through it correcting mistakes and quickly publish. However, I think it is going to take a bit more work that that. My target was the end of May, so there is still plenty of time.

    Weekly update time: Word count average for the week is: 2285/day. I'm happy that I've beaten my target. I still had two days where I could only just manage 1k words though. It wasn't because I was short of time either, so I need to figure out why. I've finished the first draft of the romance...

    Yes, I have. She's been on page 4 - 8 on Amazon's top romance authors today. It's hard to ignore credentials like that. I'm not ruling anything out at this early stage. That said, I'm equally keen to trip over my own feet. Starting something like this is desperately exciting. Seven months to...

    I'm only just coming to the end of my first draft, but know exactly what you mean. I had six characters defined before I started, some of them didn't even speak, others came running out of the shadows and started smashing the place up!
