I think I can…..I think I can…..

What do you think of the new cover?

Okay, so I finished up my dedication and acknowledgement page for The Nutt Family last night. I went home yesterday feeling a little gloomy because I didn’t think I would have time to finish everything else up with the book and get copies to take to the local author expo on March 3rd.

I had told myself at the beginning of this year that I was going to take risks (so unlike me) and just go for it with my writing. So, I stand today ready to make things happen. I will work feverishly tonight to put the finishing touches on things and get my file uploading to the publishing site. After that, I will expedite shipping on the books so I have them in time. I will also be making bookmarks to hand out to the kids that come to the expo and I should be able to get those completed in time.

I have the determination to make this happen even though I have never been to an author expo in my life. I am terrified, but I think I can do this!

Sometimes my timing is just off….

by Angela Muse

I found out today that on March 3rd there is going to be a local author expo in Marietta, GA. Unfortunately my second book will not be ready to print and get copies by then and I don’t think I would have enough time to get copies of my first book shipped in time either. This is an annual event so I guess I missed the boat this time. I’ve been busy putting the finishing touches on the book and sadly, last weekend my old boss passed away. I worked with him for almost 15 years and he fought a very brave battle against cancer, but I believe he is in a much better place now.

I plan on completing my dedication page and getting a new author photo done this weekend for the second book. Once that is done I just need to do a final edit and then I can send the book in for publishing. Then I have to order a proof copy to make sure everything looks like I intended and then I’ll be ready to launch.

Sometimes timing isn’t there, but maybe there is a reason for that. Maybe next year I will have 4 or 5 books to showcase at the local author expo 🙂
