In the mean time I've spend my time watching my ranking in the amazon.com contests go from 34 to 39 to 15 to 5 to 6 to 9. It's been so so so stressful, and I have been shameless in the marketing. I'm now to the point of talking to the teenage girls in my neighborhood to see if they can download it and then passing it along to their friends.
It's so true when the literary agents say the publishing is a business. There's so much marketing involved and without a major publishing house marketing department, I'm running out of people to hit up to read this book. So... if you want to read a good 16 pages, go to my amazon.com contest entry. Heck, share with a friend!
Thanks a bunch for everything! You guys are the best.
Hint to keeping your sanity -- stop checking! This is out of your control now. All you can do is get the word out that you're a finalist. The rest is up to everyone else. Trust me, I check my ebook sales waaaay too often, and all it does is drive me crazy (or crazier as my hubby says.) Direct that angst toward writing. :-)
