Lammy consideration? Maybe.
I'm writing to you today to publicly state my goal for the rest of the year: to submit It's Just Us Here to the Lambda Awards!
Checklist:
1) Admin stuff behind the scenes that you won't see. (boring)
2) Re-reading all the books. 1/2 book a day. Starting tomorrow, the 13th.
3) Publishing softcover editions on Amazon to be in compliance with the Award Guidelines. (However, I might prefer if you buy from Lulu.com because the books won't have an ugly white barcode on the back.)
4) Finish the last chapter of the last book! (Ah!)
5) Add the last third to Book Six. (From the skipped content in what was originally supposed to be book 7/10. This will bring that arc to a satisfying conclusion.) (PS: sorry for going out of order with regards to that missing section! You don't need to have read it to understand the adoption story line in the later books.)
I like this goal so much! It's got me motivated with finishing energy. :)
If you want to help you can:
1) Read along with me. 1/2 a book a day.
2) Read along via Google Docs. Point out any errors along the way. (There shouldn't be many, but if you catch even one, I'll love you forever!)
If you want to help via Google Docs, send me a message with your email (hopefully a gmail). I'll send you a shared Doc of the full book with the ability to add comments. You'll share with everyone else who is also reading along in this manner.
Why do I feel confident with this Google Docs thing? There's a new tool! It's called 'compare document' which allows me to check my original doc against ANY doc (not just earlier iterations of the existing Doc). So your comments/suggestions won't affect the Official Manuscript and I'll be able to catch any potential 'oopsies' via the compare function. I love it! They just made sure I will never switch back to Microsoft Word!
ALSO, the first three books are back in KU.
ALSO, for now, Book One, The Friend, is available for $0.99 and Book Two, The Companion, is available for $2.99. I don't know if this will be their 'usual' price, but I want as many people to read along with me as possible. Enjoy!
