I did It!

Today, I published my book Moth on Amazon!

I'm So excited!

Last night I had 3 hours of sleep and finished editing it. It was epic and I'm proud that I finally got it out!

The next thing I'm going to do is contact local radio stations to promote it and PR agencies to help me promote it.

I'm still trying to get an agent and a publisher. The hustle is real. Sometimes the process was painful and other times it was amazing. I'll update you on it!

Editing Day 2

   Today I really enjoyed editing the manuscript and was looking forward to it all day. It was fun and I did about 11 pages.

   I corrected spelling mistakes, added descriptions and made paragraphs make sense. The total word count is 74, 149.

   I listened to an audio book called A Discovery of Witches by Deborah Harkness, one of my favourite authors. It's a part of a series of books called The All Souls Trilogy.

   I have a long day of editing tomorrow and I can not wait! I'll also compose a list of agents that I'll be submitting my manuscript to and use the Writers and Artists book. In my next blog, I'll share what I found useful from it and add the list at the end of the blog.

   Good night! xx :)

Editing Day 1

   Today I went through all the grammar and spelling errors, and quickly corrected them. Starting with Chapter 1, I read the manuscript through line by line and edited any lines that sounded weird or didn't make sense. I don't know why, but I always laugh when I'm editing sex scenes. So childish. Haha!

   I edited the first 4 chapters while listening to a playlist of old and more recent songs. When I was writing, I usually listened to an audio book, unless I was sick of it. I corrected a few sentences that seemed odd and any spelling mistakes that were missed by the autocorrect. In total, I edited about 10 pages.

   I'm starting to feel more positive about it. I'll leave it here for now and continue again tomorrow. Good Night!

I Finished!

   Yesterday evening, I finished writing my book! I reached 74.065 words and it took me almost exactly 6 months from start to finish. I feel so good and about to start editing it. I honestly cannot wait to bring it into shape.
  
   Today's post is a short one but I've decided to blog every day about my editing and share with you what I have gone through, good and bad.

   You know what, right now I could really do with some chocolate. I've had enough chocolate today, so I'm not having anymore. Costa's hot chocolate is SO good! :) I'm so loving the penguin cups. I'll post my first editing blog later tonight.
