But, I'm not one for delving into fantasy type forces as a writer. More toward the Star Trekish side of science fiction. Some would call it hard sci-fi since I try to deal with technologies that are feasible. Basically, science fiction is the easy answer. That question really made me take a long pause. Someone asked me recently who my target audience was.

Now comes the promotion (without nagging and spamming), completion of the next Zegin story, and the ongoing writing of the full length novel.

I can't just sit back and wait for the royalties to pour in. It has been a great education and it has given me a lot of confidence in the process. If I consider the end of the Edmonds Writers' Conference as the beginning of my goal of getting this story published, I'm looking at 4 months of activity. It was a little hard to read through (and I'm tempted to re-write it to make it easier to follow) but it was well worth the effort. If there's one single most important thing that I learned this week that is worth sharing - it's 'Be sure to set up your Styles in MS Word before doing anything.' There's a great thread on the Amazon KDP Support forum for this. The past week has been full of formatting and layout for the final submission up to Amazon. I just hit the submit button less than 15 minutes ago! Whew. Being the proud author of my first Amazon release, I have to give myself a blatant plug: I'm keeping it short and sweet for this posting. I'll soon be discussing this whole process via this blog in the near future. I learned if I just keep everything in Scrivener and save into eBook format for Kindle, it's a much smoother process. Seems I was taking a step backward when I copied from Scrivener to Word and thus saved as HTML. But there were some frustrating moments when I just couldn't get it right with Microsoft Word. I'm pretty geeky when it comes to the use of computers and software. I will say the formatting and submission process was a significant education.

And by the time I get my full length book done, I hope to have an established fan base.ДЄnd let's not forget that I get to blog about the ongoing process as well.

It opens the door for more Zegin's Adventures stories.

It introduces me and my fiction writing to a new market, thus getting my name and style out there.

I now have a pretty good idea of the cost and effort required to have a quality book published.

I gathered an education on the whole process from beginning to publishing.

Since this is a short story (33 pages) it's only selling for $.99. Now that I've revealed how much I've invested I'm going to be posting how many sales I get. But it's not the end of the blog postings. This is my first self published eBook and will be the beginning of many more. It's finally published! Zegin's Infection is now a real eBook on Amazon.
