I've done the same, in my own small way, by starting a blog, called The Diary of the Vixen Divorcee, at www.vixendivorcee.com. When I decided to do this, I had never even read a blog. I can't say I enjoy reading things on a computer screen. But, it is a new world, isn't it? I'm loving blogging. Maybe I'll graduate to reading an ebook. Maybe even publishing one. Like Marcia, I like the title of your book. Best of luck with marketing it. Will you let us know how it goes? Hi Kathleen: Congratulations on venturing into this new technological world.

I'm now convinced that this is the future of publishing. I say, decide where you think publishing will be in five years, and shoot for that vision in your writing. So far it's been working GREAT for me! My blog and books are directly at the niche market of midlife psychology and change. My reign as the Midlife Crisis Queen has just begun!

I hate that phrase no matter what numbers are used. Grr. And secondly, congratulations! I too have self-published my first book and much of the process I do no ever ever want to repeat. My biggest challenge was formatting the document so that it would come out right when it was printed, as in page 2 on one side and page 87 on the other side of my computer screen. To avoid the formatting alone, I'm hiring a publisher for my next book! Keep writing Kathleen; I love your story! Marcia First of all Kathleen, I love the title.
