"SUCCESS!...again" - my words
Last week I managed to get something done. Before my vacation I had submitted my second book to CreateSpace and the inside and outside got approved. I reviewed the proof copy while on vacation. Last week I pulled the trigger and made the book available as a paperback.
The process for getting my second book published has forced me to become a better writer and editor. When I re-read my posts five times I quickly realized that if I had written them better then the re-writing would have taken less time.
The editing of one's work is also very difficult. We tend to overlook minor mistakes in our writing so finding those errors is a challenge. Another thing that adds to the errors is that often we tend to write the way we speak. I approached the posts with the idea that there are mistakes in them and that I needed to find them before someone else paid and found them.
In the end, I believe that my second baby is just as pretty and smart as the first one.
What remains to be done is to make it available as a Kindle book. In order to do this I need to figure out how to separate the book into chapters so that a person reading the book can easily navigate.
... time to celebrate...
Today's question is:
"How do you celebrate repeat success?"
