I’m proud of myself for finishing the first (very) rough draft of my book about what it’s been like to own my first dog. I have no delusions about finding an agent, but will publish it myself as an ebook that the whole world can read. If it wants to.
I pledge here on my blog that no matter how ridiculous it is (a dog book?) or how little attention it gets from the ereader world. I’m doing this. First, I take a break from it, for at least December. At some point during the cold, quiet part of winter I’ll start the process of (heavy) revision. After I produce a second draft and get some feedback on it, I’ll create the third draft.
I’ve never written a book and certainly haven’t self-published. I’m not sure what happens at that point, but I think that will be the final draft and then I’ll work with an online publishing site to turn it into an ebook. Then I tell the world about it!
The one-liner on it might go like this:
A personal memoir in which a spinster bride discovers that letting her husband get a dog brings change to her personal relationships, self-image and diet.
Just kidding. That sounds terrible!
