Rainy Hotel is Done. I'm Just Figuring Out How To Got About the Release Right Now and Some Other Random News
Hello everyone! I hope you are all doing well. It has been a little while since the last post. And I’m happy to say I made quite a lot of progress. So let’s discuss it.
The main thing is Rainy Day Hotel is done. It’s finished, polished, formatted, and I actually finished the cover art for. Well, mostly finished the cover. I still may tweak it a little bit. But it’s ready to upload to KDP and thrown out into the world. And I have been enjoying blissful feeling of being done after a year of rewrites, and chaos! But the question now is, when is it going to be released? Well….I’m trying to figure that out. In the past, I kind of just threw things out there. Then I used Twitter to push things harder, and the result has been not the greatest to okay. So I’m just taking a moment to see what I can do to promote it. Should I do a giveaway? Maybe a pre order countdown thingy? Push on multiple social media outlets instead of just one? Because let’s face it. Twitter is not nearly as useful as it should be in the marketing department. Should purchase a digital ad service? Or maybe to do physical giveaways? I think because it’s only gonna be 70ish page story, it would be relatively cheap to produce paperbacks for a giveaway. But that would require a lot of courage that I’m not sure it at the moment. And I’m toying around with the thought of making a book trailer to coincide with the release. I do have audio files from reading the story out loud in the final polishing phase. One part in particular would be perfect to coincide with some sketches and a nice guitar rift. It’s something that I can do given a bit of time. But anyway, that is what is going on. I’m just brainstorming about how to go about this release at the moment, and will have a release date news soon.
Beyond that, I still need to decide what to work on next. I actually been busy with life, Rainy Day Hotel, and sick lately so it’s taking a longer than I wished. But the other night I printed out some rough drafts of a trio of stories. They include the science fiction Grey Matter, the dark fantasy Witches in the Castle (Working title for now), and the horror fantasy The Curse of Kiera White. As I go through them, I will make my final decision about what I will focus on next. I am dying to get something else closer to publication.
And that’s all I got for now. Sure it this might be a more dull update than usual, but I am quite happy that with the progress that is being made. And when I do finally release Rainy Day Hotel, I hope that some of you will give it a chance and enjoy it. I did work really hard on this.
