This week has been a little wild because the Newsletter went out on Monday, which also means that any Newsletter Members should have received an eBook copy of Cranberry Kisses.
Which is so fun and I am so excited to share this story with everyone, but also it is literally absolutely terrifying.
I started this journey as a fun, hobby, something I wasn't even sure would be anything more than for fun.
BUT
I received huge huge huge amounts of support and interest in this journey and my book and I have met some amazing people through this process.
That being said there is a lot of pressure associated with having your family and friends excited for a project you're working on. Especially when you are deeply immersed in the book world and almost all of your friends are associated with the book world as well.
Pressure to be amazing. Pressure to create a story that everyone loves. Pressure for it to be well liked amongst many people. Embarrassment and concern associated with what happens if it is not.
That is where I have to remind myself - I am not writing for them. I am not writing to be the next best selling author. I am not writing for anyone else BUT MYSELF.
I am writing for myself. I am writing to show people that you can, you can actually do anything you put your mind to.
This is something I will be telling myself this week and probably for the foreseeable future as my books go live and are officially released.
That being said, happy release week to my lovely newsletter members. Everyone else please stay tuned for the presale and release date timeline for Cranberry Kisses.
I hope you all love it as much as I do!
