How to publish a book in five minutes, Hahaha...

I've never eaten a big mac or a subway. I've never played on a play station or x-box. I've never watched Game of Thrones. Just a few things I've never done. But, I've published a Book! An actual book. Me an Author. And boy what a journey that's been. To be honest writing the book was the easy bit, publishing it has been a nightmare. 'Self publish on Amazon KDP, its fast and easy' they said. 'It takes five minutes' they said. After about five days, rather than five minutes, and many tears, tantrums and headbutts on my screen I finally hit the publish button. Erring on the side of caution, I chose a release date of 6th April. This year!

So I'm sitting here, surrounded by an abundance of post-it-notes, still completely baffled by the whole process. The e-book is sorted, now onto the print version. Arghh! Front covers, back covers, bleed or no bleed, size, format, html, pdf, text wrapping breaks, etc. What is this language they speak? I want the idiot guide. But I will figure it out, although certainly not in five minutes.

Even though this whole process has aged me by about 20 years I'm still feeling chuffed. I've loved writing my blog and I've loved writing my book even more. I may be ignorant to the whole process of self publishing but at least I can say I did it...
