My Journal #2

Its been too long

I can't believe how long this has been. I received a notification that someone liked my last post. I clicked to see what it was about. So much has happened. I need to catch up here.

As before I'd begun to look for publishers to publish my new crime novel.  After a few more blocked ($$$) leads I found a publisher who didn't ask for a any money up front. Now that being said, I get the manuscript edited, a cover that is awesome. The only draw back so far is they only publish to KindleUnlimited. I get paid by the page read. I can deal with that. I also made sure there was a POD option. I'll buy a box of books and peddle them myself. That's what I did last time and I did well. Not amazing, but I certainly was happy with the almost 400 sold in both e-reader and in paperback.

My republishing of Vanishing is going okay. I found a publisher who for a price that I can deal with, is going to republish it as a paperback and ereader. I also get a promotion package. That being said, I've already had it out there so I'll just promote it myself and buy a few paperback books to have on hand. I have only 3 left of my original 175 I bought. People are still asking about it so I know there's an interest in this book.  I found out they were selling on the secondary market and now there isn't any left.
There will be a newer looking cover with the words Revised or Second Edition

In November I signed up for a 100 Day Book. I'd done the Nano three times so I figured I could do 80K in 100 days.  I couldn't get invested in this plot. It sounded good but I had trouble moving it forward. Now that I'm one week from the end and I'm only at 40k, it's starting to come together. so I'm out a few bucks, I'm done with this website.
I hope to get some feed back on it here on WDC.  Prompt: "What if you found out your birth certificate was a lie?"
