If I could, I would probably go around the shops, checking if it could be really found on the shelves, taking pictures and hoping that people would be buying it.
ReplyDeleteI would hitting up all the bookstores within a 50 mile radius and introducing myself to the booksellers. I'd also want to sign stock while there and discuss the opportunity to have a signing. And of course, it'd be all over Facebook, Twitter, and every place else I could thing of.
ReplyDeleteI would squeal at the sight of my book on the shelf. Then I would compose myself and try to act normal for at least a minute before I started squealing again.
ReplyDeleteOh no, I nearly missed this party...or drawing, as the case may be. Since I'm behind, I'll just do all my days at once. (1 entry)
ReplyDeleteDay 1 - I fainted.
Day 2 - Someone woke me up and showed me the revisions. Next to panic, I check for damage from the fall. Do I still know how to write?
Day 3 - This is a dream, isn't it? Numbers don't really have six zeros, do they?
Day 4 - Reality hits. I'm in Barnes and Nobles and I can't find my book. I knew it. It is a dream. Sigh. New Year's resolutions now begin on Dec 20 -- finish manuscript. Next year, at this time, the dream is happening! (B&N, lookout.)
Having a wonderful time. Kate
Considering myself a private person, when my first book went 'live' I was shocked to find I was no longer anonymous on the internet.
ReplyDeleteI would squeal, take tons of pictures of me holding my book, and when the casual looker on my aisle took a glance I'd introduce myself and share my joy with them (and hope not get kicked out of the store by security). Of course, afterwards I'd post it all to Facebook and hope that the nice security guard was up for a round of photos too. :)
