Really fantastic!<br />I was laughing out loud about your 'techno-angst'. I believe I had my blood pressure (which is normally quite low) up on the charts yesterday as I was formatting/uploading/converting/downloading...<br />I think I was sweating, too. Ha! Looking forward to checking out your blogpage today!<br />~ NadjaNadja Notarianihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01339595239944177531noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6889983057537109989.post-43084246482454852802011-09-02T03:21:49.272-04:002011-09-02T03:21:49.272-04:00Hi Nadja, I linked over here from the Campaign lis...Hi Nadja, I linked over here from the Campaign list. I'm glad you joined! I signed up the first day, I think, and the ride has been wild. So many great writers to meet!<br /><br />Your mention of computer challenges made me smile. I'm the same way, and last June, when I FINALLY finished prepping my novel for Kindle, I posted a blog about it. 40 HOURS OF TECHNO-ANGST! (That wasn't the post title, but the content conveyed it quite adequately.) You might enjoy reading it.

Going Indie scared me at first, but after a lot of reading on the subject, indie is the right course for me. I'm free to go in any direction I like... I'm a fan of freedom. I also like doing things for myself - even though it scares the pants off me....ha!<br />Newtowriting ~ piece of mind....that's what I'm going for right now. This week is making me feel 'frazzled'. Fantastic, bold, daring, and excited - but frazzled just the same. ~ NadjaNadja Notarianihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01339595239944177531noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6889983057537109989.post-35715195575284990422011-09-01T08:49:00.490-04:002011-09-01T08:49:00.490-04:00I know how you feel about Autumn (although Summer ...I know how you feel about Autumn (although Summer beats it in my mind) there's something nice about wrapping up warm, when the sun's still shining. And of course kicking leaves! <br />Good luck with the novel upload - very sensible backing it up, you probably won't need it, but I sometimes find things like that are good just for piece of mind. <br />Have a good week!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6889983057537109989.post-52417257494917169482011-09-01T05:33:32.132-04:002011-09-01T05:33:32.132-04:00Glad you had a lovely holiday and I too look forwa...Glad you had a lovely holiday and I too look forward to jumper season! I am happier in cold weather as I burn in sun so I am all about autumn!<br /><br />Glad you are close to uploading...I am not sure I will ever go the indie route...it scares me too much and I am not very technology minded!<br /><br />My biggest fear in this whole writing thing? That the words aren't good, that the story is no goodm that I am no good. Wow, that is a big fear!<br /><br />Have a great week!Emhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03069696625147455758noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6889983057537109989.post-57770455907567457222011-08-31T21:16:27.621-04:002011-08-31T21:16:27.621-04:00Jamila ~ Thanks!

Thanks for the award, too!<br />Matt ~ Yeah, the picture of that snow plow is enough to give me the willy-nillys. I love snow when I can look out the window at it - from complete warmth and comfort - and a full fridge - and full cabinets - and enough cold hard cash to turn up the heat to 80 degrees. I know....sick, but true.<br />Julius ~ Gotta love that family. I guess that bike was better than schlepping. Can you imagine the fine you'd get in this country for being pulled over with your entire brood on the back of a motorbike??

But enough a...AHHHH MY EYES! THE SNOW! THE HORROR!<br /><br />But enough about that.<br /><br />My biggest apprehension is that moment right before you click the "publish" button. Totally indie-specific, but I always feel like Dr. Frankenstein and try really hard to reign in my cackling with glee. It's alive! <br /><br />That, and it's the culmination of the constant battle of "is it ready?" Which, mind you, is set in a forest. In autumn. With a peaceful babbling brook and lovely hues upon the leaves. And bodies. Lots of typographical bodies. (Like that previous comment that has since been slayed. ;-P)<br /><br />Congrats on the milestone.Matthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06496367364680009076noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6889983057537109989.post-87307668927403139862011-08-31T14:25:38.505-04:002011-08-31T14:25:38.505-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.Matthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06496367364680009076noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6889983057537109989.post-88841167537709642372011-08-31T13:44:54.545-04:002011-08-31T13:44:54.545-04:00Happy to hear that your holiday went well, but it&...Happy to hear that your holiday went well, but it's good to see you back. It seems like everyone is happy about the arrival of autumn. I live in a place where our autumn weather tends to be warmer and sunnier than summertime, so I'm cheering for September right along with you.<br /><br />I also wanted to let you know that I passed the Liebster award onto you, as you've been a wonderful friend and uber-supportive during this round of ROW80. I'm excited for the launch of your book - good luck getting everything uploaded!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
