My first thought when I saw this title of a Bookbaby blog was, “You sit down and keep typing!”  While this is definitely true, Beth Haydn’s guest blog has some other contributions.  🙂  Go check her  How to Write a Book in Six Weeks over at Bookbaby.

 

 

THE DAY! July 19, 2011

Well, today is the day!

After years of writing, editing, compiling, collaborating, waiting and abating, Grace Awakening is finally greeting the world! Today Lintusen Press uploaded Grace Awakening to BookBaby.com for formatting and distribution to the e-book outlets around the world. Whether you have a Sony e-reader, a Nook, an iPad, an iPhone, or a Kindle you will be able to download Book one: Awakening Dreams for the remarkable introductory price of 99c.

I have a niece who is 2 weeks from her due date today, and as it happens, now so am I.  Bookbaby says it takes 5-10 days for the file to be prepared and sent off to the various e-stores.  Those e-stores take from 2 to 14 days to get the files onto their sites and ready to sell.  That means my baby could be ready for the world in 7 days or 21 days- just like my niece’s baby.

We’re in the longest waiting period.

Wait.

Wait.

Wait.

Wait.

((sigh))

Keep your eyes open!
