Decisions, decisions!

 I talked to another book publisher today.  It made me realize that I'll need to invest more money in my book than I planned.  It,  of course was a sobering thought.  Amber and I had conversations about it last night and today about it.  At first I wanted to get my book published either for free like I did the last two times.  I even considered giving away 30% of the profits for one service.  Well, my mind set has changed.  To get all the services I want I'll need to invest more.  I need editing services, for I did it myself for both books.  I look back now and hit my head.  They came out well but I'd change a few things,  be more watchful of spacing ,etc.  This book will be the first one I have the confidence to charge people exclusively. The other two were free or pay what you wish.  I want to market this thing to the point that I'm sick of it!  I want websites, book trailers social media presence,  the works!   To afford it  will probably have me saving for a while.  So my promise to have this book totally done by Xmas is not going to happen.  Hopefully I can have the first draft written by Xmas.  I will then have a few beta testers read it, then give it to the professionals after that.  I also want to be sure that I can be read on all platforms like Amazon, Barnes and noble,  Apple, etc.  I also want both ebook and printed books available.  The cheaper services was lacking in one thing or another.  I guess it's a case of "you get what you pay for!"
