Bloggishness

Status

On a whim, I entered a contest last week. Surprisingly, I won. That was fun. I miss entering contests daily and interacting with the people on WDC. I've been intentionally NOT entering contests in a effort to focus on my book. I'm now up to 32 chapters and 68K words. I think I'm about 2/3 of the way done.

My plan is to finish then go to a professional editor. I'm guessing 5K for that (plus a lot of rewriting). I figure $500 for a cover. Then I need to set up my online publishing (hardcover) with Amazon. After that, I go to market. I've been growing my blog so now I can tell 1,500 readers in one day that I have a book out.

Let's see how that goes.
