A Writers Update

Well today is a two blog post day!

I'm not sure if I told you guys already ( if I looked to previous posts I would know ) but I have started the hunt to look for a publisher or should I self publish??? These are the questions I need answers to. I told myself that by the end of June I would have made a decision and would move forward with one or the other.

It was funny because although I had finished writing the first book I kept looking at my page count that hovered around 170 pages. I kept thinking "OMG I have to write more!!" That was hard because I didn't want to bleed into my draft for the second book and was trying to find ways to extend it. That being said me being completely green to this process I decided to look up Manuscript parameters and what do you know...I gained 300 pages once I converted the whole thing and then it actually felt like it was finished.

Besides a read through and edit it's done and by the end of the month it will be ready to go and I'm excited and terrified at the same time but on top of all of that...whether I get published or not I...wrote...a...book... Something that was in my head is now on paper and that makes me proud as hell of myself.

So what are the next steps? I have no idea but I will research and question and find out everything I can to make it happen!!!

Sometimes I can't breathe when I think about it...

And advice is welcome! Pros, Cons of Self Publishing whatever you have I need to know it all!!

In the meantime I've been speed reading through Karen Marie Monings Fever Series and I'm hooked as hell. 5 books in a week I'm on book 6 now waiting for the last 3 to be delivered this week.

See Ya

Recently Read: A Court of Wings and Ruin

A Court of Wings and Ruin (A Court of Thorns and Roses, #3)A Court of Wings and Ruin by Sarah J. Maas
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I absolutely LOVED this book!

You know I love it when it takes me only 2 days to read an 82 Chapter book. I admit that I had to refresh my memory about events that happened in the last book but all in all I was completely taken in to Prythian once again as Feyre had to find their way through their new trials along with her sisters and the rest of the Court of Dreams. I am also happy that the events with Tamlin in the Spring Court didn't take up the whole story seeing as there was so much story to tell.

The relationship between Feyre and Rhysand is one of my faves as (at least out of the books I've read) he seems to be one of only a few male characters that doesn't seem to dominate or want to change his mate in some way and gives her the space and equality that she needs and wants. One of my top books for the year and just like with another book from a different series that I read recently just as quickly... I miss them already.
