Character Takeover: Rose Moore
Hello, I’m Rose Moore, and I’m not one for writing on the internet. I’d much rather enjoy my cooking and knitting. I was told I have to talk about who I am, and what I like best about the Town of Glass.
Well, now. You don’t need to know how old I am or any other statistic like that. I’m Turner Moore’s aunt, by way of his father, Bradley. Turner is a good boy, and I want to do whatever I can to help him when he needs it.
His parents have been having some trouble recently, and put him in the middle of it somehow. He asked to come live with me. I said okay, but only on a few conditions. He’s a teenager, almost ready for college, so he needs his own space. I convinced his parents to let him have his own apartment in the apartment complex I live in, and they agreed. So he moved in upstairs from me. I still keep an eye on him – he has to check in with me before he goes anywhere and when he comes back, and we have dinner together at least once a week.
Whatever it is my brother and his wife got themselves into, it’s not right for them to drag Turner into it. So I am his safe place. If I were to have had children, I would want them to become people like Turner. I’m doing my best to work with everyone helping with his situation, and it seems to be working out.
I don’t know what else to write. The town is in so much upheaval over the deaths that there’s really nothing else to say.
4 Weeks to Midnight Splash
I Need a Break!
Someone might tell me, now that I’ve uploaded my book and it’s nearly ready for publication, that the hard work is over. But really, it’s not. As I look at everything I’ve done since finishing the writing of Midnight Splash and handing it over to the best editor I could possibly find, Joann Collins, I feel like the real work has begun.
When it comes to self-publishing, you need to do it all, or find the people who can help you do it all. There’s no publishing house with hundreds of employees that help you every step of the way. It’s you, your computer, and anyone who’s willing to help you along the way. Unfortunately, I couldn’t afford all the experts I would have liked to have had in my corner. But I found the tools and information I needed to step into their shoes and create something that they probably could create in ten minutes.
Up next: marketing, and doing everything I can to get my book in front of those who will want to read it – like you, the person reading this blog post.
But first: a very much well-earned break. The night I uploaded my manuscript to the printer, I went to bed and passed out. The frustrations, hope, and adrenaline all culminated at that moment, followed by a giant sigh of relief and some happy, excited, tired, and no-longer-frustrated tears.
So now I lean on some other tools that I have that make social media interactions easier, so I can take that well-earned break.
After I take that break, let’s keep talking on Facebook!
