Awesome!

That's great Matt! Feels good to release your baby I'm sure, but careful of that artist's postpartum thing. Happened to me for a good month after the release of my book. Don't wear out the keyboard checking sale's reports.

High five Margo or should I say High-five thousand. Very impressive.

Haven't checked my Kindle report in some time and was pleased to find 18 sales in the past month. Fine by me. Haven't done much in the way of pushing the book with all the crying (new little man!) going on around here.

Some new Squee News....I was invited to be part of a small press event at Powell's. I'm totally stoked to read and present at such an iconic establishment. If any of you are in the Portland area stop on by.

Ryan, that is so cool! What a great feeling to be asked to participate in something like that. Awesome.

So my book made it through the first round of the Amazon Breakthrough Novel Contest

Margo and Matt--congrats on all the self pub victories!

Ryan--Wow, invited to speak? Excellent!

Ginger! Congrats on making it through the first round of ABNC! That's so cool!

Sweartagawd... one of these days I'm gonna post some SQUEE in here. It won't be today, might not be soon, but I WILL POST HERE!

Sweet! Your site looks great. With those numbers you are guaranteed similar sales with your future releases of the trilogy.

High Five from the rainy Portland to Hungary....

On the advice of another writer, I'm trying to give Children of Sun and Moon an early boost to increase visibility. What she suggested, was a Facebook event to encourage people thinking about giving it a try to do so on Monday. If anyone here is interested, check it out (and any Bransforumers are always free to send friend requests, just let me know who you are if your name is different).

Sounds great Matt. Good luck with that.

Very excited to announce that the erotic romance novel I co-authored with fellow Bransforumer Karen Booth (Karenbb) will be released tomorrow by Ellora's Cave!

SQUEE!

Cheeky! It's been a while since we've heard from you. Good to have you back here at the forums. That's awesome news! Congratulations!

I've made it halfway through a first draft. A microscopic "squee" in comparison to most everyone else here but a wow for me.

I do all my writing on a low-powered Acer Aspire One netbook, with a "lite" install of Windows XP that has the network drivers removed and no IE7 or Firefox. I use a full-screen text editor called Q10. It allows for formatting and indenting, on screen anyway, as when you open the documents in Notepad (they're just .txt files) the formatting disappears. But when done I plan on combining all the .txt files in Scrivener and printing that one long document, socking it away for some time and then editing with an old-fashioned red pencil. None of this fancy Track Changes stuff for me.

It's a YA sci-fi, total of 14 chapters each in a planned trilogy. I organized it that way because it's a sci-fi comedy (albeit with some heavy themes interspersed), and 14 x 3 = the answer to everything. I'll post more when done with at least this draft of book one.
