Notes -
Oh, I finished my first proper book a few weeks ago. I still have editing to do, a cover to commision, layout to complete, and a marketting campaign to plan, but the text itself is largely finished. I don't expect to be doing any more development edits beyond continuity fixes.
It's gotten pretty solid reviews from free readers (It's serially published now, it'll go down when it launches on Kindle Unlimited). I had some unsolicited interest from publishers and agents, but I'm leaning towards just doing it all myself because even a 'good' publisher's cut is 50-60 percent on ebooks, and that's just not worth it to me. Probably gonna try to partner with a publisher for the audiobook, because I know a guy current DIY'ing that, and he's spent into the five figures already.
Overall, I'm quite happy and proud, but it still doesn't quite feel real. I don't think it will until I have a physical copy in hand.
