Eurgh. That sounds horrifically depressing! Half a century old can't be anything but a bad thing - right?!<br />
<br />
Anyway, I have some amazing Facebook buddies who, without my knowledge, set up some giveaways in honour of said birthday in order to help me reach 1000 likes on my author Facebook page. And they bloody well did it! I am now the proud owner of a 1k Like Page! I don't know what that means really, or if it will mean more people actually see my stuff, but it was rather exciting.<br />
<br />
I have also had 5 paperback sales now! Whoop! Go me! Which amounts to about a fiver's worth of royalties! It's a joke really, so where this idea that throwing books out every month makes a quick buck has come from I do not know! Indie authors do not make any money really!<br />
<br />
So here are some pictures of the gorgeous paperbacks that have been purchased...<br />

<br />
I am ridiculously sorry about the lack of posts recently. I could once again ply you with excuses, but I won't embarrass myself or bore you!<br />
<br />
So a few things have been happening in my little book world. I've been overwhelmed by the response to my words and have been so lucky to receive some incredible 5 star reviews. They keep drifting in and each and every one of them floors me. I don't think I will ever get used to this feeling.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVnuD3FD9cVdB_VhcyKOeVJWNpqPFbnjxJs6Fpvybo2ykY2h3XqEuwNe8DPb8D6Wu4hTVHGf2hXZnb7MMEJd6hWHJ0BYGDfoCdqBXa8p3JGmXd_Tmom39yDoTpFfVi0q0xZbLW8Zinl5dD/s1600/me+and+my+book.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVnuD3FD9cVdB_VhcyKOeVJWNpqPFbnjxJs6Fpvybo2ykY2h3XqEuwNe8DPb8D6Wu4hTVHGf2hXZnb7MMEJd6hWHJ0BYGDfoCdqBXa8p3JGmXd_Tmom39yDoTpFfVi0q0xZbLW8Zinl5dD/s400/me+and+my+book.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
Also, my book is now available to buy on paperback! Having the physical book in my hands is indescribable. I just can't wrap my head around the fact that I wrote all those words and all those words form paragraphs and all those paragraphs fit together to make the chapters of a story. I wonder if J K Rowling has these feelings still, or wether it dissipates as time goes on and the more famous you get. Not that I am expecting to come famous any time soon, although it would be bloody lovely!<br />
<br />
I have signed my first copy for my sister in law, and that was rather a surreal feeling too!<br />
<br />
I went to my first signing in March too. That was an amazing experience. I went as a reader that time, but hopefully, one of these days, I will be behind the table. I think I will ensure I have a couple more books under my belt first.<br />
<br />
So anyway. I thought it was about time that I jumped back onto this blogging bandwagon and try to touch base with any of you that actually read this shit!<br />
<br />
Ciao for now, Trumpers,<br />

I am still not sure I'll make the 50k, but I am ready to give it my best shot. The ideas for a new manuscript have been rattling around in my head for a good while now, so I am going to use NaNo as an excuse to get them written down.</div><div><br></div><div>Things in Housing Elephants land are hotting up. I finished my final read through tonight. I'm hopefully getting one more person to read it before I send it off to get formatted on Monday. And then it's pretty much a wrap! </div><div><br></div><div>More exciting than that though is the fact that in three sleeps time it is my cover reveal! I'm so giddy for this, mostly cause it's not me who is on show, rather my wonderful graphics person, L J Stock, who also happens to be a really talented author. </div><div><br></div><div>I gave her my synopsis and she ran with it, creating a stunning set of graphics for promotion and the all important book cover. It's seriously beautiful. So stay tuned, on Friday and you will get to see the final version.</div><div><br></div><div>Bare Naked Words are hosting it and I got the schedule tonight... Over eighty blogs have signed up as part of this! That's a crazy amount of exposure! Really quite scary. </div><div><br></div><div>So anyway, I just wanted to duck in and say hi seeing as I haven't written for a little while. I'll be back on Friday, if not before. </div><div><br></div><div>Ooooh... And I have my first official review. 5* - can you believe it? You can read it on the Gooddreads page. </div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>Nos Da</div><div><br></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjLkIF8qNluhmk8Elw7h7Gxe5GhoFqQzfCqvHKMDMMQDXwWdPwn72db7jU3-P0tRk4il44j3e66AoFIY5mUQmpxTTCi6cqO0fQCnA_f9EWjnowKSDRKVeqLkeRpgmskwmj6zQCHkbDwoXeE/s640/blogger-image-55363702.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjLkIF8qNluhmk8Elw7h7Gxe5GhoFqQzfCqvHKMDMMQDXwWdPwn72db7jU3-P0tRk4il44j3e66AoFIY5mUQmpxTTCi6cqO0fQCnA_f9EWjnowKSDRKVeqLkeRpgmskwmj6zQCHkbDwoXeE/s640/blogger-image-55363702.jpg"></a></div><br></div>Eleanor Lloyd-Joneshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12753244943849679574noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7422944390642371019.post-60042309981932801492015-10-19T13:37:00.001-07:002015-10-19T13:37:57.984-07:00Fly, baby. Fly...So today, I announced Housing Elephants to my real life friends and family...<div><br></div><div>Wow! I am overwhelmed by the response I have received. I really didn't think that many people would be interested. So many of them want to read it, which means I'm now even more scared! Having strangers read it was vomit inducing enough, but now my dad might read it! </div><div><br></div><div>Sorry, Dad! Please remember it's the characters talking, not me! </div><div><br></div><div>And that's the weird thing... It <i>is </i>the characters talking. They have a life of their own and it was them who wrote the story. That might sound crazy to anyone else, but ask any of my author friends and they will tell you. There were points in the story where I had no idea what was going to happen, sat down to type and they just took me there. There were other points where I thought I knew exactly where it was headed, I'd sit down to type and they took it in a completely different direction. I can't explain it really. It just is. So yeah... That bad language and the sex stuff, it's not me, ok, Dad? </div><div><br></div><div>So only ten days until the all important cover reveal! I can't wait to show it to you all! It's stunning! I think I've said this already! </div><div><br></div><div>Anyhow, it's bedtime for this author!</div><div><br></div><div>Night guys!</div><div><br></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrNFj5KA9mCV5dEfnG0YYAXwQeqdDWbWh7C91jU7WJc58_jhHG0asUGK5Bdq9mYXPistPRlORbqgUu4Yxg-ldblwYcSvGY8p_mrEMMIAEg0qy07FfCy2UQFRfZEJVaFEm20qU8qI92M9No/s640/blogger-image-386573508.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrNFj5KA9mCV5dEfnG0YYAXwQeqdDWbWh7C91jU7WJc58_jhHG0asUGK5Bdq9mYXPistPRlORbqgUu4Yxg-ldblwYcSvGY8p_mrEMMIAEg0qy07FfCy2UQFRfZEJVaFEm20qU8qI92M9No/s640/blogger-image-386573508.jpg"></a></div><br></div>Eleanor Lloyd-Joneshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12753244943849679574noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7422944390642371019.post-14610823065373961192015-10-17T04:02:00.001-07:002015-10-17T04:31:42.065-07:00Sorry!I knew this would happen! <div><br></div><div>I always have good intentions, but life gets so crazily busy, that little things like this go by the wayside.</div><div><br></div><div>Anyway, I'm here now.</div><div><br></div><div>I took part in Victoria L James' First Release Birthday Blog Hop this week. </div><div><br></div><div>Check her out here...

I'm rather excited about this part of the proceedings, mainly 'cause it's not me who is on show and up for scrutiny. I can promote the shit out of it without looking like I'm showing off! <div><br></div><div>LJ is also an ridiculous wordsmith.

She used shouty capitals and everything! <div><br></div><div>It seems the book left her heart broken and needing more, which blew me away really, as that's exactly the reaction any author wants. She used the words 'amazing' and 'beautiful' and 'congratulations', which again took me aback a little. I'm thrilled she enjoyed it. </div><div><br></div><div>If you want an editor, look no further by the way... Here is the link to her Facebook page...</div><div><br></div><div>Editor Page: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/HeathersRedPen" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">https://www.facebook.com/HeathersRedPen</a></div><div><br></div><div>She's also a writer.

It was never about praise or recognition. I just want people to get something out of it, and the more people that get something out of it, the happier I'll be. As I said yesterday, I'm really proud of myself for doing this, but ultimately, I wanted to create something that other people wanted to devour. </div><div><br></div><div>Here's hoping.</div><div><br></div><div>It's late.

<br>
Dates have been set, a cover has been made, it is in the process of being edited and I am quite frankly scared shitless.<br>
<br>
Whoever thought this was a good idea?<br>
<br>
Don't get me wrong, I am immensely proud of myself for doing it, for actually sitting down and writing over 100, 000 words.<br>
<br>
That isn't the problem,<br>
<br>
The problem is, now some of you lot might read it! And it might not cut it. It might not be what you want, and I might have to tell myself to walk away from the whole thing and not bother again. That makes me sound pessimistic. I'm not. I'm a realist.<br>
<br>
I am currently reading How to Build a Girl by Caitlin Moran - it's hilarious by the way, and you should all pick up a copy. I'm nearly finished in fact, and I know without a doubt that I am not even half the writer she is. She has an incredible way with words, and I read her stuff and laugh at my own, not because it is funny, but because it is laughable in comparison.<br>
<br>
However, we should not compare ourselves with others, and this is something I am trying to get my head around.<br>
<br>
I have done it, and I will publish it and see...<br>
<br>
Keep your fingers crossed for me.<br>
<br>
Welcome to my new blog by the way - I hope you stop by again.<div><br></div><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiUkOmxALBLnlv6H5bHE14WjApMBn9fmXXnVj7YifvuLM7vELOymvbDHcdV5F88QyuS4T1G7qSQGlrC2fScGm8ly0xLr71jIDjvLfV1gNuLHH9XhmrTytdXCHeFlRkV2ga475EW6mTTVkzb/s640/blogger-image--1046139013.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="text-align: center; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiUkOmxALBLnlv6H5bHE14WjApMBn9fmXXnVj7YifvuLM7vELOymvbDHcdV5F88QyuS4T1G7qSQGlrC2fScGm8ly0xLr71jIDjvLfV1gNuLHH9XhmrTytdXCHeFlRkV2ga475EW6mTTVkzb/s640/blogger-image--1046139013.jpg"></a><br>
