Publishing my book

It’s crazy to think I’ve finally reached this point with my writing, but I am publishing my book at the end of the month! My ebook is already available for pre-order. The proof for my paperback will arrive today, and if that is looking good to go, then the paperback will be available for pre-order starting tomorrow.

All of this feels like it has suddenly happened so fast, even though I started this book back in 2021. That might be because after not working on it for over a year, I suddenly went at it with a fury. I was able to complete all the final edits, after reading through it one last time, in a day. And the next day, I had the ebook ready to go on Amazon.

What is the most surprising thing to me, though, is how not-nervous I am about people reading my book. I thought I would be sweating bullets at the idea of people, both loved ones and strangers, reading my work, but I’m not. I’m cool as a cucumber. It’s hard to tell if I just believe in my story so much that I’m not afraid what people will think of it, or if I just want to be done with this whole process already, no matter what comes.

Either way, I’m feeling good, excited even, about this. I have wanted to be an author all my life, and I’m finally making it happen. Look at me go!

  1. Congratulations! It is a great feeling – and your “cool as a cucumber” attitude reinforces the idea writers/authors write for themselves first and foremost. If other folks enjoy what we write, that is a bonus.
