Novel "THE ENRAGED" in the final stages!

More than 4 years have passed since I started working on my Novel "The Enraged".  I've always loved to write but this has been quite the project. Forcing myself to wake up at 5:00 am everyday, even on weekends and holidays so I have a few hours of quiet time to write.  Working and reworking, reading and rereading, researching, a dozen or so test readers, two different editors and still reworking!  I've read several books on writing and dozens of articles on perfecting my craft.  After all of this... a am actually nearing the finish line.  For the first time, I feel like my book is pretty much ready to introduce to the public.  Yeah, I need to sweep some cobwebs out of the corners and yeah, I need a final edit, but for the most part the story is done.  Now the decision of finding a book agent and a publisher or self-publishing.  What to do?  So many decisions for a first time writer who is most likely standing on a gold mine.  Either way, I'm eager and ready.

The only thing that stands between you and your dream is...

I love this quote by Joel Brown.  I keep it on the desk top of my computer so I can read it often.  I'm always doing something to further my novel along.  This morning my job is to write my Bio for publishers and book agents... you know why am I great?  Why will my book sell?  What makes me different?  I thought about this quote and that's why you're reading it today.  I have a great story about a young woman who is separated from her family during a zombie apocalypse.  It's a different spin than I've ever seen on zombies and an intriguing story, but because I haven't won any awards or studied zombies my entire life, I have an uphill battle ahead.  I'm not worried, I just know that I'm going to have to work harder than many before me.
