Very excited about the upcoming publication! What has been the most difficult part of the whole process?
Kim M. Watt
Aw, yay! I'm excited too! And, to be honest, now that it's almost here I'm having some sort of selective amnesia where I think it was all SO easy and SO fun, and am forgetting the sitting on the floor crying into a packet of chocolate chip cookies bits. Not that there were a lot of those. Well, there were a lot of cookies. Not so many tears.
I think the hardest part for me was so many learning curves all at once. Book covers. Back cover copy. Formatting for print. Formatting for ebooks. Marketing stuff (yes, I learned some stuff about it. No, I haven't put much of it into practise, because reasons). The writing and rewriting was fun, and I'm one of those strange people who like editing, so all that side of things was good. It was just all the rest...
