It’s been a huge week for me. Somewhat Alive is now officially on Amazon as an eBook and a paperback! No longer is my work only available on Kindle Vella. Not that I don’t like Kindle Vella, but you know. It feels good to have my book be published for real.
I’m even on Goodreads now. Still figuring out exactly how to use Goodreads to its full potential, but it’s a start. It feels really good to see my author profile and everything. If you’re on Goodreads, come follow me! It’ll be fun. I promise.
Publishing Somewhat Alive and launching it is taking a lot of my time and attention. I need to get back in the habit of posting Fiercest Chicken on Kindle Vella so that I can release it on Amazon eventually as well.
And of course, I need to spend more time actually writing. I kind of miss actually writing. Not that I don’t enjoy marketing and promoting…it’s just that I don’t really enjoy marketing and promoting. I want to be writing.
I’m trying to work out a decent social media plan so that going forward I can post on a schedule and post killer content and all that. It’s hard because social media of all kinds makes me nervous. I don’t know why. Maybe it’s the selfies, maybe it’s the social part, or maybe it’s the fact that all interactions are guided by these unspoken rules of what you can and cannot do and I’m never one hundred per cent certain I understand the rules.
Sarah from Cnterstage MKT has been trying to tell me all the rules, but it’s hard because just when I start to get comfortable with it…they change it.
Somewhat Alive is officially launching on Friday, February 10, 2023. It’s already seeing some action from Kindle Unlimited readers and a few eBook purchases. I’m cautiously optimistic. We’ll see.
I would feel better about it if I had a positive review. To be clear, at the moment, I don’t have any reviews. I suppose I’ll get there with time. Personally, I pretty much never write reviews for anything, so I have a hard time asking other people to.
If any of you out there don’t mind writing reviews and have read my book, please do review it. Unless you hated it, in which case, I wouldn’t want to take up any of your valuable time. I’m sure you’re a very busy person.
I, too, am a very busy person. I’m off to post something on TikTok and Instagram. Everyone wish me luck. I’m going to need it.
