Welcome to Blogging A to Z! My theme this year is Going Indie. I hope you enjoy it. Don't forget to check out the other participating blogs.
So, here's something I didn't know about Going Indie until I did it--the joy!
I've been proud of every book I've ever written, and it definitely thrilled my little heart to see my work accepted for publication and made real into a paper book I could hold in my hands!

But there's something EXTRA EXTRA special about holding that book when you made every decision in it. It's *mine* in a whole different way than those other books were. The credit (or blame) is well and fully mine. And there's really no other word for it. It's a JOY!
I haven’t paper printed any of my books, but it does seem like an extra thrill to actually hold one with your name on it!
ReplyDeleteIt does make it all feel more real. At least to me.
DeleteThe "I made this" factor is tripled - and your romances are going to be amazing sauce.
ReplyDeleteThank you! I might be just a little excited about them. Does it show? LOL.
DeleteThere is something about making it yourself.
ReplyDeleteIt does feel different, for sure.
DeleteIsn't it only amazing.

One of the very best feelings!
DeleteJoy is something we should hold on to for those difficult times (when the reviews don't come in, the event flops, etc.). You look so happy in the photo!
