My Book ~Update
For better or worse, my manuscript is done.
Sure, I could keep fussing with it, but I have to draw the line somewhere.
Truth is, the reason I have kept fussing with it is because I'm afraid.
Some poor fool is going to buy it, and say, "Well, that was a waste of $x.xx!"
Or, "Who told this imbecile she knew how to write a book?"
Or, "There sure are a lot of boring parts in here! Good thing I have this handy push-button on the side of my Kindle, so I can fast-forward!"
Or I will scroll to my Amazon page and see that nobody has purchased a copy, and I will feel like a failure.
Or, somebody will buy it and give it a scathing review (given a choice, I'd go with nobody buying it).
I guess sometimes in life one has to make that leap. I've only really taken one leap in my life before this, so I'm hardly used to jumping.
I have contacted a book formatter to help me. Very soon, this whole thing will be a reality.
And then, what will I do with my time?
