Another Late Weekly Update: Nov 21, 2012

I think I made the right decision. Well, I hope I made the right decision in delaying the publishing date.

Glad to say that Episode One is almost done, and I’ve taken the extra time to flesh out some of the scenes a bit. With any luck, the second draft will be finished Friday night, and I’ll send it off to a few friends to browse over the weekend.

This will give me the weekend to deal with the issues involved in making maps that will display properly in e-readers…

Come Monday, I’ll finish the final edits, and will upload it to Smashwords for distribution within a few days.

Also, it looks like Smashwords may be a bit backlogged with their vetting process. While the ebook will be available on the actual Smashwords.com site, it may take a week or two to get submitted to Barnes & Noble, Kobo, iBookstore, etc.

This will unfortunately impact the Amazon distribution as well. It looks like the only way for a non-distributor to set an Amazon price of $0 is for me to upload it at $0.99, and then wildly click the “Price Match” button on Amazon’s site (they only price match sites such as B&N, Kobo, etc, and not Smashwords.com unfortunately)… and hopefully it will be updated within a few days at most.

I can upload it to Amazon at the same time that I submit it to Smashwords, but I’ll feel pretty bad if someone actually buys it before I can set the correct ‘price’. Hopefully, by Christmas (or the Mayan Apocalypse), this will all be sorted out.

Oh, and Episode One is now clocking in at 31,000 words, with only the last (tiny… hopefully) chapter left to write.
