So I arrived home from work today, had some food, watched Frasier and then did my social rounds... Emails, blog and all that stuff. I thought it was A.K Michaels' Facebook event today so I thought I would pop and say hello. She mentioned give-away's, so I thought I would mention Maybe, Misery. I did offer review copies earlier but I didn't get much response. Ava suggested I should do a take-over. Reluctant as ever, I expressed that I was unsure about this.
As she was patiently answering my tedious questions about it all, I noticed a post on her wall. The queen of trouble had posted that I would be soon be doing a take over! So I literally had no choice. So I used all my ability to be pleasant and said hello and it went... Surprisingly well! Everyone was so friendly and welcoming. It was really weird though, kind of being the centre of attention. Like everything is directed at you. I grow suspicious when I have to say hello to more than three people at work. It's like releasing a book has made me more people friendly.
Unfortunately one of my little dells showed me how old it was, struggling to keep up the poor thing. I may have to return to the days of the Mac-Book. I do miss my Mac-Book. It was great getting more people to read my book as well. I managed to give away nine copies of my book, but if Ava asks, it was seven.
I think that's what is so hard about self-publishing. You have to put yourself out there constantly and being a relatively (borderline Obi-Wan Kenobi) personal person, it's very strange.
It was a great experience though, causing me to ramble on again ^, at least you've all become accustomed to it by now. Any way, I'll be playing tennis tomorrow and no, I'm not a fan of watching it, it's rubbish. However it's good cardio. So if you don't here from me until... Tuesday. Have a great weekend.
