Today, I'll tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth.
I love Christmas. I love it so much that I'm pretty sure I think about it a combined time of 10 out of 12 months of the year (and that's only because I'm pretty sure that eating and sleeping probably add up to two months worth of time).
Last Christmas, I finished writing the first of a three story Christmas collection. Of course, at the time it was only a one story Christmas collection. It was during that time that hubby read an article about a woman who self-published through amazon.com (a website that I would be completely lost without). She had been rejected by traditional book publishers a countless number of times and when it finally seemed like her book was going to be picked up, she was rejected again. She wound up doing better self-publishing her book on amazon than if her book had been published the traditional way.
Hubby then told me that I needed to put my Christmas story on amazon.com. To which I pointed out how silly it would be to publish just one short story.
That's when he gave me the challenge: "Write two more"
I gave myself a deadline and can proudly say that I met it. I cannot, however, honestly say that it was the soul reason for my lack of blogging.
But between working full-time and writing the stories for the book, I think I'm going to say they were both 50/50 to blame.
For now, that's my story and I'm sticking to it.
If you're looking to get started on the warm and fuzzy Christmas feelings, or you'd just like to show me your support, click below and buy my book! I've outrageously priced it at $0.99.
FYI: You can purchase this book even if you don't have a Kindle, you would just have it delivered to your computer and then it will download to your computer.
