“Avalon’s Choice” was hot and trending but didn’t get the nibble for Scout publication.

Here’s what I learned:

• It’s OK
• I need a better marketing plan (or a marketing plan)
• How to dominate MS Word’s Table of Contents feature to create a Kindle-friendly ToC
• How do strip out and reformat MS Word for Kindle
• And that I still need a marketing plan

I launched the book in a moment of absolute bliss (because I made MS Word my B!) last week. And I was giddy. I did it. I was a published author. But I neglected the marketing side of the plan. So I’m working on that next. Maybe not tonight, though. It’s been a long day of workouts, work, driving and being a mom.

So, all you bloggers out there, how do you manage your professional and person lives and your writing? I’d love to hear from you.
