NaNoWriMo 2016!!

Hiya guys & dolls, Happy November!! =D

I'm soooo glad it's finally here! November rocks anyway - it's one of my favorite months. Since starting a serious writing career, NaNoWriMo has made it even better!

That's not to say only serious writers do the writing competition, but for me, that's what it is - a way to challenge myself as a serious writer. I'm sure you knew that though, so I digress.

Obviously, I am participating this year. I'm looking forward to writing something new, now that the Swirling Secrets Trilogy is finished.

I have no idea what will come out of me this month, but I'm excited to find out!

At the moment, I'm planning on this novel being a stand-alone, and maybe comedy of some sort. I'm not sure quite yet - writing off-the-cuff is a challenge in that area, no knowing how to describe it or explain it. Still, it's the most fun for me, so booya!

Anyone else participating in NaNoWriMo this year? What are you writing?

Feel free to add me as a writing buddy on the website:

Good luck to everyone participating!

I've Been A Little Quiet...

Hiya guys! Roze here, with a Friday update. Happy Halloween Weekend! =D

I haven't put up a post in several weeks, which is terrible. 

I've been pursuing some new hobbies, and it has taken up quite a bit of my time. Those are going well, and I will have updates on that sometime soon - still tweaking everything, so it's not quite ready to share yet. I'm so excited about it though, and it's been so much fun! Such wonderful learning opportunities.

Past that, this past week, I have been down with the flu. I've barely been able to stay awake, and can't even really walk around my house without getting nauseous and dizzy. Not fun!

I've taken a week of bed-rest to recover, which goes against my normal habits and personality completely. But, I want to be over this stupid bug before NaNoWriMo, so it's worth it. Hopefully.

Anyway, Prae Lium is doing well so far, so that's awesome!! The whole trilogy is doing well, really. I wanted to take a minute to thank everyone who's read any of the three books - you rock!

Anyway, not much else to update, yet. I'll be posting again soon, with some fun updates, so be sure to watch out for those! =D

Perma-Free! NEED HELP!

Hiya guys!

So the surprise I mentioned in my last post, has a snag I didn't realize.

I had planned to put "Desi Pere" as perma-free on Amazon. I failed to research it first though, and assumed I'd simply be able to change the price to $0.00 and call it good.

Whoops!

Amazon doesn't work like that - they want to make some sort of money.

*face palm*

So! I have listed it as free on Smashwords. I also updated it to free in B&N, although it hasn't updated yet - not sure how long that takes.

For those of you familiar with how Amazon perma-free works, you know what help I'm talking about. Basically, lots of people go to the book's page on Amazon, and let them know of a lower price. If we can get that done, then the first book in the Swirling Secrets trilogy will be free, foreva!! Whoot! =D

I would love to see that happen guys - I have wanted it free since I decided to turn it into a trilogy, and wanted to have it happen today.

I feel awkward asking for help, but I would appreciate it so much!

If you wouldn't mind, simply follow the links, and down under the book rankings in the info section, the option to "let us know of a lower price" should be available. It is listed as free on Smashwords, so simply enter that link, enter the prices as 0.00, and submit!

Smashwords link: https://www.smashwords.com/books/view/642539

Thank you so much!! :D

Until it updates as free, I will be lowering the price to $0.99 - the lowest they'll let me.

Can't wait to see it as free everywhere!

"Prae Lium" is LIVE!

I'm so excited today, guys! It's live, worldwide!

Amazon rocks, doesn't it? =D

I'll be sharing another surprise with you guys later tonight or tomorrow, which I'm equally excited about!

For now though, I'm marveling in the fact I've got a whole trilogy published, out in the world. Happy Monday, y'all ;)

It's In Review!!

Hiya guys, happy Saturday!! 

I'm so excited today, because I finished the cover design for Prae Lium! It's just about ready to publish!

I also submitted it for review in CreateSpace (publisher for Amazon, for paperback copies), so once it's approved, I can order a proof copy!

If it's all lookin' good, I can set the release date for October 3rd!! Booya!! So excited!!

I'll let you guys know if it's approved, and when I order a proof copy!

TGIF Peeps!!

Hiya guys!! It's finally Friday - whoot!! It's so nice being on a Monday - Friday schedule now. Fridays actually mean something, and I can be excited for the weekend - whoot!

What are you guys doing this weekend? Anything fun planned? If not, be sure to fit some fun in there! =D

This week has been so emotional! I spent a few days fighting off a flu bug, which made me feel behind, and overwhelmed. There is so much to do right now, and I always seem to get sick right when I need to not be sick. Probably because I work myself too hard for too long, and by the time the final rush hits, I'm down! haha Oh well.

Anyway, I got over it enough to get back to work, and have finished up everything I hoped to do this week!

Mainly, getting Prae Lium up on Amazon, available for pre-order!!

I'm so excited, and having it on Amazon is the other half of what's so emotional. Come October 3rd, I will have published an entire trilogy, in one year. Having a trilogy published is such a "wow" moment on it's own, but then realizing I've done it all in one year, kind of blows my mind.

Like, "did I really do that? How?"

I'm so stoked though, because now that that's out, I can focus on marketing it. And really, I can focus on starting some of my other projects! I'm so excited to get going on my other books.

I hope you'll keep following me on this journey, and if you haven't already done so, be sure to pick up a copy of Prae Lium on Amazon! If you haven't read the first or second books yet, you can pick up copies of those as well, and get all caught up on this adventure!

Thanks a ton - you guys rock!

Off to the Editor!

Oh my gosh you guys, I'm so stoked!! I finished writing "Prae Lium" tonight!!!

It isn't as long as I wanted, but the story is finished, and that's what matters. It's long enough to make me happy - more than 50k words, split into 20 chapters.

I can definitely live with that!

It's ready to go to the editor!! I'm so lucky that is Ken, because he is stupid quick, and will have this baby edited and ready for the final read-through this weekend!!

Publishing this thing October 3rd, if God keeps blessing it this way!

Whoot!!

Ciao for now, I'm off to celebrate!
