Be All on Amazon

7 weeks

I'm giving myself exactly seven weeks to type the words

     THE END on my manuscript for Be All, book one of the All Series.

That's roughly 30000 +/-more words over my already 140,000.

Geesh, did I really type that much already? Indeed.

This week I brought onboard a great friend who will be helping me with so much I wasn't aware I needed help doing.

        Welcome Auderia!!!

Sometimes you will see me post Love, yeah that's her too.

Update on where Be All is right now......chapter 20. I predicted 30, so I'm close.

I can see the light....it's brilliant and exciting. I hope I make it there.

     I have a terrible fear of not finishing this series. If something were to happen to me contact Auderia. She knows how the book and series ends. Lol

No! I'm kidding!! Don't contact her.

Seven weeks....I guess the next step is finding a great editor. Someone willing to deal with my moods, I like to change shit around when you're not looking. Someone willing to make my work glow, not change it. And finally someone willing to stick it out for the duration!!!!

As I mentioned earlier, this is book 1 out of 3 projected. More are always a possibility .

It's super Saturday...be blessed all!!

Waiting sucks!

It's Monday! Not excited about Monday? Darn, I am! Why you ask? Well........

I emailed my work in progress to three beta's last week and I'm waiting for their feedback.

EEEKKK!!

The anxiety attack started immediately. I haven't slept and my stomach is a freaking bunched knot!

                                                                   Be All is the first book I will publish and it is my precious baby!

I realize this step is all part of the process but I wish they could read a little faster. It's only half a book. Ha, turns out I sent them more than they anticipated when I said it was half written. It seems my first book will be a long read.

I guess there is a possibility it could be turned into two books but I already have it set up for a trilogy. My plan was to make each book a stand alone in the series using the same characters. I guess it will depend on the feedback I receive from the betas. I do wish the process was a little faster.

                                          I hope to update with their feedback soon. Have a great week all! ~M

I LOVE THIS COVER!

This cover is simply striking. It has the perfect amount of him and her plus the red pops to set it all off. I love it! I hope you do too!

Writers block? After the reveal, really?

Yep you read right.

It's like my mind has freezer burn or was eaten by a zombie. I can't form a complete thought. Well enough to write this but not to get Breesan and the boys to do what they need to do.

Marcus in particular started talking about some stupid ideas he came up with to make chapter 11 better.

I didn't see anything wrong with it but he didn't have a POV so he was kind of pouting.

I think I just need a small break but that's difficult to do when I actually love this book.

I'm so in love with my book cover. Thank you to everyone who commented or liked it.

Rafflecopter on my fan page. It ends in two days. Hurry, it's a small list of entries you have a shot!!

Late last night I submitted my first of everything to a pro-blogger. Bio, synopsis, bookjacket ...aaah I'm trying hard not to freak completely out but it is freakin exciting. I reveal my first book cover tomorrow. Be All book one in the All Series designed by Arijana at Cover It Designs. She is amazing! She totally nailed it. I had a specific focus in mind and she provided the perfect picture. It is a striking cover and I'm so in love with it. Tomorrow the cover goes live on Facebook and Twitter and here and wherever else I can stick it. lol I love this book and I am actually having fun with sharing it even though I was hesitant at first. I hope you will love it as well. ~M
