So the Nerdist contest has ended (congratulations to the winners!!), and I landed nowhere near the top. BUT THIS IS OKAY.
If not for this contest, what you have been supporting and following would still be an anxiety-riddled idea in my head, and a paragraph of dialogue or two on my computer. If not for your support and encouragement (and pre-orders!) I would not have realized that I CAN make my dream come true.
I am still walking the path of that dream. I am making it happen. YOU are making it happen. And this is where I ask you to continue in your support. Tell everyone you know, and help them become supporters too. I've got until the end of November to reach 750 copies pre-ordered, which will mean my book will be published electronically. I'd love to surpass that number, honestly. I'd love to reach 1000 pre-orders and make this book a living, solid thing to hold in your hand. I truly believe it can happen.
I will be posting another excerpt from my book tomorrow, and in the days to come I'm going to get creative with my "marketing", as it were. There may be a video or two. There will be some character exploration and possibly some artistic renderings. I'm in the process of designing my own book cover as well.
Thank you so much to my new followers and readers! Right now, I've got a total of 13 unique pre-orders, and 33 readers. SO if those of you who have followed but haven't ordered yet still need a bit of convincing, I will be posting more excerpts from my book within the next two days here. It would really mean a lot to me if you could share, recommend, and give me feedback on what I've got posted so far. See something you think should be added? A bit of structuring or editing needed? Please let me know! I'd love to hear from you all! Much love, Amanda
Thanks everyone for following this week! I am going to post one or two more chapters; I haven't decided just yet.
I HAVE come to the realization that this idea is too large for just one book. The book you are following and have pre-ordered will be the first in a trilogy. This way I can give more attention to my characters and story, which I am sure will be appreciated by all.
Again, thank you all SO much for supporting me in pursuing my dream! Please let everyone know about this. I know there are many more fellow lovers of sci-fi out there! xoxo, Amanda
Thank you all so much for the support! I've got 29 days or so left of the Nerdist contest, so please share with everyone! I've posted two more excerpts from the book as well, so enjoy and leave me feedback! Love, Amanda

You don't get what you don't ask for.
I'm asking, and I'm receiving.
