Fandom Stocking and The Human Body Sucks

I finally gave in to my own nagging and signed up for fandom_stocking. My stocking can be found here.

And the human body really does suck. I've been putting up with this weird infection that's bound and determined to cause me some form of discomfort. I got some antibiotics from the doctor, but while half the problem is cleared up, the other half of the problem has increased ten-fold and is now doing weird things. It's just... gah! Really, body? Can you not just heal already? I'm probably going to make another doctor's visit because I am getting really sick and tired of this. I'm generally a very healthy person so this has been crazy odd.

In some more positive news - I've formatted my book, uploaded it and, soon, it'll be available on Amazon :D Hard copy only at this point since I'm having trouble formatting it for Kindle, but that it'll be on Amazon is exciting and nerve-wracking by itself. Links will be provided when the book is available for anyone interested in giving it a read.

I've also started my next writing project, but it keeps inspiring me with all these back-ground short stories. Which is rather rare for me :/ I hope that means something good.

The Toymaker is a Go!

*Flails* My book is finally on amazon!*Flail some more* Agh! I so excited! I'm so terrified. If I were standing up I'd probably be running in circles screaming!

And now I can start of focus on the arduous process of advertising this puppy. I already have a website for it, which can be found here. It has the synopsis, link to where it can be found on amazon and the first five chapters (the Amazon site doesn't have the "look inside" feature for me, yet. I need to find out if that's something you set up yourself or if they do it automatically after a certain amount of time has passed). I do plan on making it available for Kindle - at least I'm trying to but the formatting requirements are rather demanding and Word isn't being all that cooperative with me :/

And should you get the book and enjoy it, do leave a review on amazon. If you didn't like it, leave a review as well. I read a thing that said mixed reviews tend to help a story more than nothing but praise (to which I agree, at least where my own decision-making process when looking for books is concerned).

I also plan to use the website for posting a few short stories and having writerly discussions. *Sigh* And, yes, there will be a Facebook page *cringes*. I don't generally have a problem with Facebook, I'm just not a big fan of that kind of social media. but if I want my book to get noticed, then Facebook is going to have to be part of the process.
