Life Moments

I am still getting my social networking set up and finding how little I know.  I would like to share that it is impressive that so many authors are willing to help those struggling to get started. There is a world of information to choose from. I have learned a lot by reading articles from “thebestsellingauthor,” Authors Publish magazine, and Spirit Authors to name a few. It is such a time-consuming process. I am working on getting my manuscript ready to send to Mark Maletesta at “thebestsellingauthor” for a 1 hour coaching session and keep having trouble with my writing tool on my desktop. I have not decided for sure whether to self-publish or traditional but I am exploring all my options. I am going to approach the Christian Schools in my area next week to see if they would like to be beta readers. It is getting exciting!

This blog is a journal of my adventure in publishing my first book. I hope to share my successes and failures along the way. I have found that writing the book is much easier than finding the path to publish. Publishing is a slippery slope and there are many pitfalls. There are Vanity presses which pose as self-publishing, Self publishing and of course Traditional publishing. You have to become an entrepreneur along with being an author. You have to be willing to invest in your craft. This is my intial post and will attempt to keep them coming!
