The edits are in, revised a couple of times, feedback received. I am ready to move forward with the manuscript.
It’s terrifying, in an exciting way, but still terrifying nonetheless. I think it’s a good story. I’m sure there’s many things in retrospect that I could have written differently, but right now, it’s still too fresh to look at it with a more objective lens. I think that comes with time.
I subscribed to a few newsletters regarding promoting, but I need to revisit them and look and see what really makes sense. I bought one course at a very reasonable price, but of course now I’m inundated with four or five emails a day.
Which brings me to my next topic, email services. I never considered, or knew really what these subscription things meant. I mean I knew it had to be something automated because my junk email inbox has a plethora of daily emails from some “subscribe now” button I clicked at some point in the either not so distant past or from a long time ago. I rarely open these emails, but for whatever reason it doesn’t annoy me to see them on a daily basis.
BUT the four or five emails a day for this course or that course, the hurry act now stuff irritates. I’ve yet to send them to the spam folder because these involve the writing process, but the volume does seem a bit out of control.
I don’t want that to be me. I don’t want my readers (one day I’ll hope to have some) to grimace when they see an email.
Finding balance. That’s the key isn’t it. Not just with writing- but with all things.
That’s all for today I think. Now I’m off to do the mundane things people must do, laundry and housework. Oh the life of a prospective best selling author! (haha)
Have a good day everyone!
cheers!
