Currently editing my debut novel!

@WersleyRitton @pennyistyping Sigh, now I'm going to have to try one. Thank you!

[Reese Blanchette @TachiScribe]

@Bettyvstuff @Mary_ork Way nice cover! I like your way. It's definitely better to polish the book.. Quality over Quantity, as they say

[Reese Blanchette @TachiScribe]

@Bettyvstuff @Mary_ork Do the books start going faster or slower once you have a few done?

[Reese Blanchette @TachiScribe]

@JessicaGoeken It always feels so good to get back to it!

[Reese Blanchette @TachiScribe]

@RossBailey1980 Why not edit something old and get that out there too?

[Reese Blanchette @TachiScribe]

@DKemeridou I sat on it for too long. I finally opened my book up, doing a final editing pass and hoping to self publish on Fathers Day. My main concern is figuring out the cover for it. I won't use A.I., I can't afford to pay an artist, and I'm pretty slow at creating art myself.

@SusanSavageLee1 Some genres aren't taken seriously by some people. Other people take those same genres quite seriously.

@WersleyRitton @pennyistyping Is there an advantage to a Kindle over just using your phone?

[Reese Blanchette @TachiScribe]

@pennyistyping Can't beat having an entire library in your backpack. But I do love physical books, and I can't imagine ever not buying them. I rarely leave Barnes & Noble for less than a hundred dollars.

[Reese Blanchette @TachiScribe]

Nice, my original intent was to edit chapter by chapter, but then, when I get to a chapter that is over 10k words, I sometimes fail to get it done, and it messes up my routine. So if I set myself a minimum, I'm sure to not stall out.
But if I was a more disciplined writer/editor, I would get even the long ones knocked out in a day. Hopefully I can work up to that!

@JDaltonAuthor @jflWrites Thank you for the input! Iim definitely thinking a bit bigger now. And yes nice, I definitely like the idea of promoting it and selling it more than throwing money (from a tight budget) at ads and hoping for the best

[Reese Blanchette @TachiScribe]

@bethmcgreeneyes @goodreads Ah only physical books? I do prefer physical books but the convenience of having an entire library in my pocket or backpack is hard to pass up. I still buy physical copies of my favorite books tho

[Reese Blanchette @TachiScribe]

@JDaltonAuthor Score! Do you just search google for events like this or is there a good source to watch? Like facebook groups or something?

[Reese Blanchette @TachiScribe]

@jflWrites @JDaltonAuthor Dang, that's interesting. I'm about to self publish my first novel on Amazon, and I was planning on paying for advertising. Sounds like I would be better off saving that money for an audio version of it?

[Reese Blanchette @TachiScribe]

@StevenTBoers63 I have to take notes or I'll forget, not matter how good of an idea I think it is. But I've put them all on the back burner while I finish my first project.

[Reese Blanchette @TachiScribe]

As a 500 word a day writer, I've often thought I need to put in the effort to bring it up to 1000. But 500 has worked so good for me, I'm worried I'll initiate a burnout or something. I've considered upping it slowing, by like adding an extra 100 words per week until Im writing 1k a day.
Did you start out at 1k or did you build up your writing muscles?

[Reese Blanchette @TachiScribe]

@everest_r58083 Sometimes I edit on my phone at my kids' sports games. Like when they're waiting for their turn to bat.

[Reese Blanchette @TachiScribe]

@bethmcgreeneyes @goodreads Do you use a different E-Read now? I've thought about getting one, but I always have my phone, so I'm not sure if there would be an advantage to one?

[Reese Blanchette @TachiScribe]

@goodreads Tbh, I like to know as little as possible about a book before I read it. Not only do I not read the reviews, I don't read what it's about first. I know the authors I like, hear recommendations, and just randomly try different books. Sometimes the cover or name sells me on it.
