Actually, two. Literally. Here we go...
I have not learned anything new, I have observed nothing new, there is nothing I feel prompted to share industry-wise. I am about to learn all kinds of new things but haven't yet. I will report any goodness when I have it. So that is tidbit one: Always go forth and learn new things when self-publishing. And even if you are a perfectionist who enjoys beating the crap out of yourself whenever you make an error. Do not. Realize it will take you time and mistakes to master this new thing, accept it, be patient with yourself as if you were someone else and remember to listen to your body/mind/soul. Which leads me to tidbit two...
Slow down if you need to. Work smarter, not harder. Breathe. I am slowing down this week. Giving more focus and better time to less things. Careful selection of time and energy.
That's all I have for you this month, boys and girls. But I must be doing something right because the last December Ink release (Gritty: Rough Erotic Fiction) was #1 on the paid anthos list on ARe this morning. Sometimes paying attention to your pace instead of focusing on the race makes the long haul a little easier.
I ran this morning, can you tell?
Hope your summer's off with a bang. Read an ebook or three this summer. Support indie pubs. :)
XOXO

I have dozens of ebooks in my plans for reading this summer.
ReplyDeleteAwesome, Susan/Kelley. That is even better than three! :D

I wish I could read three a week, there's so much cool stuff out there! I'm loving the diverse selection of indie fiction, and having lots of fun finding new authors to read.
