Becomming and Being a Self Published Writer (Week 3/4)

So this will be a collected post for weeks 3 & 4. It's an exciting time and loads of things are happening. Let me start at the beginning.

The website seems to be running as it should and I'm currently working on creating the content for it. I managed to find a multilingual plugin for the site, which cost me a little bit of money, but I believe they are very well spend. The plugin allows me to have the site in several different languages without having to install a new Wordpress for each and every one of them. The plugin is working beautifully and the site functions and will have content in Danish as well as English. These are the primary languages I will use and I don't expect to have the site running in more than these. If, however, I should change my mind later on, it will be no problem what so ever to create a new translated mirror. What can I say? I love this plugin.

Since the last entry, I finally got the confirmation that I'm now a firm, so my stories will be published under the name of Theories Publishing. This is huge for me, and I can wait 'till it really happens. There's still some way to go, but it feels very good!

As mentioned, I'm currently creating content for the website and the primary start content will be my blogposts from my two blogsand some I will create for the occasion. I don't expect this blog to very active in the future, but it will remain active until the website is fully up and running.

It also seems I finally figured out the Danish tax system (or so I hope), so the firm is fully up and running, which is great. This being a one man firm gives me all the roles as director, writer and accountant, but I think I'll manage. I don't expect to have that much book keeping to be done, but if I realize it's too much work, I think I'll call a friend.

This Monday I held a meeting with the people who will create my book covers. They are very professional people and have a lot of great ideas, so I'm very excited about the photo sessions we are going to have next week. They will also take some shots of me for the "About Me" pages on the website and in the books. Gotta have 'em taken while I'm still young looking :)

So this is where we stand. The short story, "One Too Many" has been shipped for copy editing half an hour ago, and I expect that one to be the first story to be published. I'll update you later on the progress.

On a personal note, my son was baptised last Sunday and we all had a great day with family and friends.

Now, content creation onwards - have a lovely weekend everyone.
