I can’t
believe I’m saying this; but in just two short days (April 20th) my
book; Everything Disordered, will officially release. As a pre-launch blog
post, I thought I’d create a little something about some of the practical
things that I’ve needed to write my book and at the end, you may find a little sneak peek inside the book…
Technology
devices
The way the world is with technology, it should come as no
surprise to hear that technology played a huge role in writing my book;
Everything Disordered. There was once a time where an Author would use paper
and pen and send it in the post to a publishing company! Now there are so many
options and routes you can take in writing a book and having it published, and
a lot of these options involve technology.
Since the beginning of I’m NOT Disordered in 2013, I’ve found that
a lot of people assume I must be good with technology to have the kind of
following my blog has, but that definitely isn’t the case! I have a huge
appreciation for technology because I recognise how important and monumental it
has been in my life, but I definitely don’t find it unchallenging or in any
way, easy to use! In fact, that was probably a big stumbling block in writing Everything
Disordered; I was very unconfident in the process of writing the book, uploading
it to KDP, and figuring
out the sizing issues (which I’ll be discussing in more detail on the 20th).
Honestly, the stress and confusion of the whole process was actually really
off-putting and occasionally I began regretting my decision to write a book!
So, I think that in recognising that you’ll need to use technology
to write your book, I would recommend ensuring you have a certain level of
knowledge on the process and that you do your research before starting to
write.
