I’ve been having a lot of trouble managing the “it’s too much” panic lately. The biggest project I need to finish is getting print copies of my Destroyers Series IN HAND by 11/10. It has averaged about six weeks for author copies (depending on who you talk to). My own delay was on a 5-week lag for a hardcover order. That does not bode well.
But at least I have ONE of the Destroyers in paperback form.
To get to this point, I needed to:
- finish edits
- finish rewrites
- format epub
- mess with the css because it was all wonky
- format the paperback inside content
- Whoops, forgot to add “reader magnet” and bonus content in the epub! (go back and REFORMAT the epup, re-fix the CSS, and other stuff
- Remove the bonus content from the print copy
- Create the paperback cover version
- Figure out back cover copy for the PPB
- Download the epub and do another pass on it ‚ catch five more errors
- Redo files AGAIN
- upload ARC copy to Book Funnel
- Get my ARC readers a heads up email
- Finish my newsletter email for all readers
- Finally get to social media maintenance and graphics
So, with all that listed out, no wonder I was dreading the task!
Don’t forget, there is a Facebook Launch Party scheduled for “Holiday Shorts” – please plan on attending. There will be giveaways, prizes, and other fun. I go on at 8:15 PM Eastern and only have a SHORT 15 minutes to get my freebies handed out. https://www.facebook.com/groups/RomanceReadersRecommend/ — mark your calendar.
