"Confessional" #1

My goal is to sell 30 copies of the novel I wrote. This follows all of the adjectives in the "SMART" acronym, as I explain in the video. This is important to me because I want to donate the money to Writer's Club, which is a good cause, but also because I just really want to get this sold. I've uploaded the novel to CreateSpace, the self-publishing company I use to get the novels, and so I should be able to order copies soon. I haven't used any outside help yet. One time when I felt frustrated was trying to get it formatted just right so it could be printed in a 6 by 9 inch book. Apparently, the way I had it wouldn't work because it didn't scale correctly. So I had to change the size of the pages. At the beginning of working on it I definitely felt motivated. I got all 42 chapters reformatted in a day. And, yeah! This project, if it goes well, will probably be my favorite. :)
