Been a while

Sine I commented but its been a mad few months... a new grand daughter, a plot line for Fat Bums 2 and trying to push this both as an e book, paper back and push it up the authonomy charts is a juggling act.

Sales have been slow but steady, reviews would be nice but they will come and as of today we are at no 15 int he chart and Im working hard to comment on as many other books as I can to gain more readers ... it all helps

Its alive

Yes Fat bums is alive and in a short 24 - 48 hrs will be available as an ebook through kindle and smashwords. Links to come asap

However if anyone wants to buy direct from me it can be bought for £2.00 through paypal. PDF to be sent on receipt of confirmed payment. Anyone who is interested in buying direct, email me at bigmansmum@sky.com and i will send you an invoice

Exciting times ahead

The final edit

Well its started and with all thats been going on, its a wonder. Its getting a major overhaul, not just a looking for stray commas and full stops. More sex, first time sex, more emotion. im going for it with a new found insperation for writing and a desire to get it out there.

Wish me luck hopefully in the next two weeks it will be winging its pretty wat to the wonderful world of self publishing !!

Now what

Well its finished, editing, polishing and all ready for launch into the real world. now for the really had choices... Createspace or Lulu. They seem to be my options for paperbacks. Lulu would be my prefered option ... mainly because its based in the UK but is getting a bad reputation for end product so I may have no option but to go with createspace.. which then incurs extra shipping costs and time

Nightmare really.

but then i learn of lightening source and ... agh now there are more decisions to make

I will make it an ebook, for kindle, will also do for ipod, ipad, mac as well, cover all bases but I also want some paperbacks for gifts for some very special people, as well as potential customers ...

Decisions decisions

Finished editing at last

Well thats it for editing for a while ... Its as good as its going to get without another pair of eyes on it.. which is hopefully whats going to happen over the coming weeks and then its out into the big bad world  and we will see what the paying public think of it...

Rip Apart

I hate this process. I have a logical brian A-B in the fastest way taking as quickly as possible to acheve the goal, with as few a steps as possible to do it right but corrrectly and now I need to learn flowery or A-B meandering through c,d,e,f,g,h,and so on ... not easy for someone who doesnt think that way

I really dont want to rip anything apart not least fat bums but people cant be wrong. I do tell more than I show. Learning to show is a pain in the arse but comes so easy to people when they have been shown exactly where to change it ... not so easy when you really dont get what they are on about ..... steep learning curve

But one with grave consiquences because now 2 books I wrote yrs ago are shelved indefinately because of this tell V show. I cant face pulling them apart. They are as real as it gets. real people, real situations, real emotion, real nightmares and real anniversaries of devastating incidents to deal with. I cant deal with that just now so they are shelved... maybe 1 day they will come back out to play  but rewriting 200,000words+ is not going to be easy and I dont have time nor the inclination to start.

So fat bums it is ... I will try and fix this and then see what else can be achieved ... right now am too mad and fed up to do much ...

Decision made

We need more action, we need more going wrong... its where to put and when. I have ideas and I intend to put them into practice.

Some feedback I got from an unusual source has helped ...

I was told recently its not strong enough, etc and I didnt understand but now I do. I see the weakness's and its nearly time to make it better.... then self publish it and try and get it out there and get the feedback from the buying public. 

Maybe thats the way to go .....

I dont think i can do it before september but if I aim for that then it gives me a mini deadline and I thrive on deadlines .....
