One thing I wasn’t expecting when I decided to start publishing my stories was how much time is sucked away by administrative or “extra” jobs (like this blog!)

I started off slowly, just publishing at Amazon. But now I’m also distributing via Smashwords and Draft2Digital (d2d). I’ve just signed up for an AllRomance account and I’m learning that there’s so many more places that the stories could be available at.

It’s an information overload!

I want to be able to connect with other authors and readers so I’ve got this blog, I’m a member of two forums, plus in my insanity I have signed up for a Goodreads account because it looks like an awesome community.

What about creating a mailing list so that I can connect via newsletters? Argh!

The good news is that once things are set-up or you’ve been through them a couple of times, it just becomes a part of the routine of releasing new material. I’m going to focus on completing one new thing at a time.

First thing this week will be uploading all my stuff to d2d so that I can be available at Barnes and Noble, as their Pubit! distribution is only available for U.S authors to access directly. Boo!

Then I’m gonna get to some writing ‘cos that’s what I do. I’ve got a great new story on the go. Hoping to be able to post some excerpts this week. Exciting!
