Welcome to Day 30...
(Yes 30! We're really moving along...)
They say that good things come to those who wait...
Well good things also come to those who work hard...and take chances.
Here's the thing. Being a self-published writer can be isolating. You keep pushing forward and working hard and in your head is that little voice of doubt...is this all worth it? Is this the right way to go?
You're never quite sure and so you keep plugging along and then some pretty neat things stop you in your tracks. By handing you exactly what you need...Positive feedback, a great review...a shout out on Twitter...all of it pure validation.
I got that in deuces over the past few days...
Over the weekend a very nice woman posted the following on my FB page...
"You are an amazing author ! Right from page 1 , I am hooked & can't put the book down... Now I am starting " Now You See Me ". Your other 3 books were great. Wish I didn't have to work tomorrow , so I could read , read , read. Thankyou. !!!"
And then today, I got a shout-out-thank-you-reply via Twitter from a well-known DJ here in New York - it was for the comp book I sent her.
All I can say is that so far it's stacking up to be a good week...A very good week.
So keep at it...keep writing and self-publishing...keep the momentum going with your marketing...who knows what positive response is waiting for you...
Please cast your vote for the best cover picture for my next book cover. Right now we're down to a tie so go to... Synchronicity or http://www.maggiecollins.net/ now to vote!
And...here's Today's Takeaway Lesson...
"Stay In...All In...Because Something Incredible is Just Around the Corner"
Here's to Being All In,
