Happy Sunday friends 🙂
Today was the release date for Eléonore! I can still hardly believe that she’s finally published and out in the world.
It’s been such a crazy rush leading up to today! I’m planning to share my self-publishing journey with you.
I spoke a bit about it today during the weekly #storycrafter chat on twitter which Faye (@Writerology) was kind enough to let me co-host!
It was such fun to interact and engage with the writing community. If ever you’re free on Sundays at 3PM EST, you should definitely check it out!
I just want to extend my gratitude again to all of you who have supported me. I feel like Eléonore has been the product of a few years of work, and yet she was only conceived in August! I have many of you to thank for inspiring me to this moment.
My goal was to be published before my 26th bday. And it is a goal achieved! Today’s release was an early birthday gift from past me to tomorrow me!
I just want to take this moment now to say to you friends: I hope that you continue to pursue your dreams. Don’t let anyone stand in your way. Especially yourself. I shared these thoughts today during the chat:
Don’t reject yourselves, friends! Believe in yourself and trust that you’ll know when the time is right for you to share your story with the world.
If you’re interested in urban fantasy, I hope you check out this little novella. But let me give you a piece of advice. If you prefer a paperback copy like myself, wait until it releases mid-December (if you do, you’ll get the ebook free!) If you prefer the ebook though, here’s the Amazon. com link: Eléonore (An Iníonaofa Novella)
May inspiration flow like ink upon your quill,
Faith

Faith, I am forever impressed that Elenore only took you four months from conception to publication. It’s very inspiring and has spurred me on with my own writing; I’m hoping to have my current WIP ready over the next few months.

Thanks Emily! Eléonore was such a different experience from any I’ve had previously with writing. I’ve been working on a novel for ten years (the first I ever completely wrote), but something with Eléonore clicked!
Good luck with your own WIP, which looks amazing by the way (I love your Wednesday excerpts!). If you ever need any help with beta readers or ARCs, let me know 🙂

“I hope that you continue to pursue your dreams. Don’t let anyone stand in your way. Especially yourself.”
That’s along the lines of a mantra I’ve been telling myself the past few days. (Actually, no – weeks is more like it.) It’ll make more sense when tomorrow’s blog post goes live… but I just wanted you to know that line resonated with me.
Congrats again on publishing Eleonore, Faith! I look forward to reading the paperback version when it’s ready later this month. 🙂

Thank you so much, Sara! And thanks again for being a great inspiration with your own writing journey.
It’s a mantra I’ve had to work hard to adopt this past year. Something clicked in August. I look forward to the post…. actually I see that it is up! 🙂
I go to see!
