I've groused on the regular about how publishing has changed in 20 years, and expectations are different. I wrote. They edited and published. But...I never got to choose my cover. I would send the book out for review and keep up with small other things.
Now? I write, edit, publish. I create graphics, reels, and book covers. I have complete control. I love it. But it's a fucking lot. And I desperately need someone to manage ARCs and socials. Because my overworked short ass mightily sucks at it.
And...I may get one as early as this coming week!
I am so excited I can barely deal with myself. It would take so much pressure off me. I can create. She can market.
Is this...is this author heaven?
In other written news, I finished (didn't finish) the Gordons. Let me 'splain.
I have roughly 5000 more words to write to round it out about 70,000 words.
Cool beans.
But this last 5000 will be the bridge between books 5 and 6. And, of course, it's all new and shiny and I'm SO EXCITED!
That may fade as I'm forced to do serious research on a couple characters. Which, I don't mind. But it makes my brain hurt sometimes. And with another sleepless night under the belt I never wear, it's going to be a challenge? And you know what we all say when we face a new challenge, right???
