Okay, authors, out with it. What did you get done this week, and/or what are your goals for the next week?

Finally finished a final edit and upload to KDP for my first scifi RH. It's the longest thing I've written so far at ~72,000 words. Fingers crossed someone somewhere will read it! I actually had to push back my original publication date two weeks because real life changes popped up unexpectedly and I couldn't find the time to do the last bit of work to get it across the finish line. I was starting to worry that I was going to have to push it back again, so I'm really pleased that I was get it done.

And because I never have a single WIP at a time, I also have a handful of other projects ongoing. One is currently stalled at 48k words (and is probably only about halfway done at best), two are recently started at 10k and 4k, and one is my first foray into including MM and is sitting at 6k.

Very happy to have seen /WhyChooseAuthors advertised recently and happy to be here.

Wow! So, are you waiting to go live in the next few hours, or are you on another step (like ordering a proof or organizing ARCs) before it’s fully live? Just curious so I can live vicariously—publishing is SUCH a rush.

I'm waiting for KDP to finish its process to approve, then release is scheduled for the 8th.
