And that's okay.<br /><br />Sorry you lost your editing idea. :hugs:<br /><br />I'm glad paperbacks work for you, Deb. And yay for selling some off your site!B.E.

Can't wait! <br /><br />Cool you have a librarian waiting for your books! The last paperbacks I sold ended up being my MIL. Which was nice, but I would've mailed them to her if I knew she wanted them.<br /><br />OMG, thank you so much! <br /><br />I hope you got your stuffs done yesterday! And here's to a productive weekend. ;o)B.E.

I'll probably rekindle the idea when I get back to writing the book. And if I don't? Well, it probably wasn't the right idea to begin with. ;o)B.E.

Loooong since forgotten.<br /><br />I like to create a paperback version. For me, it's less work than the Kindle version - that's how my brain rumbles. And once in a rare while, someone buys one from my Etsy site. :-)Deb Salisbury, Magic Seeker and Mantua-Makerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01513482264195697450noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-173702747791230686.post-17302382359087451012018-08-10T11:05:34.187-05:002018-08-10T11:05:34.187-05:00Hope the idea--or one even more awesome--comes to ...Hope the idea--or one even more awesome--comes to you. I normally don't put books up for pre-order because I usually just put them up when they're ready. UtAM is a bit different because it's a "private" publisher who'd putting the book up. It is kind of fun to see a sales ranking before the book is due. I sometimes preorder books that I know I'm absolutely going to buy but knowing that, I leave space in future book budgets for them.<br /><br />I need to get my back list ready for print. If nothing else, I have a librarian who wants them and she gets them into library system so they can be requested with inter-library loan. I've picked up new readers that way. And I occasionally sell a paperback. Also, they're good for the odd booksigning I do. Not in a big rush though. Got way too much stuff on my plate.<br /><br />I gave WISH IN ONE HAND a mention on Instagram yesterday for National Book Lovers Day. I hope it will get you some look-sees. <br /><br />And that's it for me. I need to get cleaned up, do errands, and get to writerly work. Have a great weekend!Silver Jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15606837105470988646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-173702747791230686.post-51910623370582814732018-08-10T06:29:20.057-05:002018-08-10T06:29:20.057-05:00I'm sort of stuck on your lost idea.

Here's something weird that bizarrely worked the other day when I lost a slip of paper that had a book idea on it...I thought about the project very vaguely when I was falling asleep and then the idea came back. This time I added it to Google Keep instead of entrusting it to paper. Good luck with your own idea!Elizabeth Spann Craighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15625595247828274405noreply@blogger.com
