I have an idea for a book that I started but never work on. I blame DU.

I just sent the signed contract back. Since this is my first time (lost my virginity!) I'm not really sure how it works.

I do know I've had people friending me on FB already asking the same thing. Exciting, but weird to think that someone actually wants to read something I wrote.

I self-published it on Amazon Kindle. It was ten years in the making, and I think it's pretty good, but I haven't made much off of it. It's really difficult to self-promote, especially when you self-publish.
