NEW THINGS
Life is full of beginnings and endings and that's okay. I personally do NOT like change so I try to mask it with giddiness and fun stuff. Often I think I actually succeed in covering my nervousness.
I think...
Last week, I became frustrated as an Author/Writer. Every day I try so hard to promote "As You Wish", my debut novel and, it seems, everything I do just falls...flat. It's perception. I know it is.
People ARE SEEING the book and they KNOW WHAT IT'S ABOUT. Impatience is the word I would describe it. As human beings some of us are hard wired to get what we want RIGHT NOW. And, when we don't get it, then we become depressed and frustrated.
That explains the bag of Dove Milk Chocolate Promises laying of my writing desk. It tells me, reminds me, not to give up AND to press on. Write, think, type what needs to be done and get it over. This bag, without saying a word, is telling me. "You write 10,000 words this week, clean up your submission for Felicia Starr's anthology and you can have me. All of me, RedHotness." That means, I have to do it. I have to finish the story. Will I do it? YEAH! It's chocolate.
If you are facing frustration in your life, don't give up. You got this. One thing I have learned in the few 39 years on this Earth is this... If I am in a valley that just means I am getting ready to climb to the top. So suck it up and GO!
I. GOT. THIS!

You're doing really well! It's a first book and you were unknown before. Just think how much easier it should be with Hold Me Loosely. :)
