Things to do with your book after you finish it.
- Print it. Make sure you have enough ink, paper, postage, etc.
- Go to the post office and make sure you take the editor’s addy with you.
- Go back home. Worry.
- Worry some more.
- Email your agent and let them you know you’re suffering massive paranoias over the finished book.
- Wonder if your editor has looked at it.
- Worry some more.
After about 4-6 months of this… you hear from your editor. They like the book. They love the book. You can now stop worrying~about this book. Now start the process all over again for the next book you’re mailing off…hopefully this week… and start the “book is about to release” to do list…
- Will readers like it?
- Will readers hate it?
- Will it flop?
And sigh… I’m getting ahead of myself.
