Marked up, high lighted, scribbled on, now a discarded pile of paper. It is the final draft of "Let's Do Lunch" It is sitting on the coffee table and it's staring at me.
What am I going to do with it?
I could send it back out - to agents or publishers in the paper market or to publishers in the e-book market. I could re-post it to Authonomy an spend the next six months chasing the Editor's Desk. (NOT!)
There is a co-op or two where I could post it - experiment with this new arena of e-publishing, blog the results like I blogged ABNA and Authonomy.
Or there is Amazon - Kindle and Create Space.
This is like standing a the foot of the diving board.

I'm leaning towards Kindle, or Indie Lit World - at this moment. I waffle like an eggo. (G)
I've been dropping by your blog to read, but I'm not commenting.
Whoo-hoo! I'm just happy you've decided to do *something* with it :)
Once you know where it will be available, maybe you'll agree to answer my 11-Question interview :)
11 questions?
Like I'm a real author....I donno. (LOL)
Be glad to!
Yeah, I know, I waffled for a long time. I got so discouraged after sending it out for the better part of a year and getting nowhere with it.
I think that if I stack it against the average $.99 Harlequin it will stand on it's own just fine.
I may even charge $2 for it.
