Almost There

Hopefully within the next week or two, I’ll have my novel available for purchase through Amazon.  Hopefully.  I’m still finalizing details with the graphic designer on the book cover and I’m finishing up the editing and formatting.  Since I have no idea what I’m doing, prayers would be appreciated.

I’m excited in some ways, anxious in others.  This isn’t the way I dreamed it.  I had hoped for the stamp of approval from a traditional publisher, who would have then taken care of all the extraneous details of book covers, formatting, and advertising.  And I would have earned enough royalties to sit at home and write the next book.

But seldom does life work out the way we dream it.  This is the next best thing.  At least this novel won’t sit in a dusty box, unread, like the others I’ve written.  At least there will be the opportunity for people to read it.

And so I am excited about sharing it, just anxious that I won’t format it properly or no one will want to read it.  But I keep reminding myself that God told me to write when I had decided I would never write again.  He gave me this story, so He must have a plan for it.  And for me.

I’ll keep you posted.
