Day One
Ok. So I am done writing Mythica and by tomorrow afternoon (April 20th 2012) Mythica will be able to be purchased on Kindle. What a journey! Three years almost to the day. It was tuff but I just kept going. Finally when I realised I couldn't make Mythica any better I shelled it out for an editor. Then after a while I figured why not get a cover made? So I did. And now I am swallowing my fears and self publishing! For those of you looking on doing the same, I say go for it. I must have received almost 80 rejection letters from top notch agents before I thought: Damn the Man! And went in search of Indie Publishers. This costs too by the way...thankfully I came across KDP on Kindle and voila - it's free and such a huge platform for people to self publish their work. Mythica will be on Kobo too once they get self publishing on it (I'm on waiting list). So please read my debut novel and stay tuned for the rest in the series.

I went to a writing seminar in March and I was told by the speaker that in Canada having an agent really isn't needed. That was good to hear. Having an editor is a plus and your book should be professionally edited before you start doing anything else. So you did well.
