It’s so hard to find the right angle for a post.
Or targeting the right ‘demographic’.
Let alone, figuring out any of the right steps to make your book seen.
Every avenue for publishing has it’s risks of succeeding, and I chose this path. But it doesn’t mean that frustrations can’t plague you every step of the way.
Today is one of those days where the weight of taking on the monumental task of writing, editing, formatting, creating artwork, designing covers, publishing, and – ugh – marketing is overwhelming. None of which includes the daily struggles of life in general, with the added drama of feeling like the whole world is deciding to fall apart.
But, everyday, I bring my hot yeti mug full of coffee into my office. Sit in front of my computer, and keep going.
I love writing. I love creating art and stories. I can’t stop if I wanted to.
Everyday, I create a media post to help anyone find my book. I’m hoping that by creating one every day I’ll have enough that I won’t have to struggle to make them. Right now, I have about 10 made, and now I can start posting again. I think I’ll post them here too. Just because I put so much effort into them.
Marketing focus is on Book Two. (don’t ask how progress is coming on book two…at least today.)
Maybe I need deadlines….
Hmm…
Anyhow, that is where the feelings are today. Marketing sucks, but I’m still trying to make it work.
I’m jealous of those who have that natural ability to talk to a camera, or make everything sound amazing. My hats are off to you!
Anyhow, happy writing, reading, and breathing.
