Things are happening, and that's exciting! But things are…happening ðŸ˜
I've tried to fill my days of waiting being productive —building this website, beefing up my social media, getting my legalities in order—but as with everything, when it rains, it pours.
Getting approved by the bank means I can move forward with SO MANY things—Kickstarter, PayPal, Patreon—but my ARC program needs my EPUB yesterday, and every time I sit down to do it, there's something else pressing that needs my attention. I have to keep the website updated so that it stays at the top of searches. My artist cannot live on concepts of ideas alone and needs my actual input.
On Thursday, my artist called uncle. Our posting schedule is just too ambitious. We didn't know until we started. I need to make a new schedule.
And that's just book stuff.
A few days ago, hurricane-grade winds knocked over a post on my deck and almost brought down the structural integrity of everything, and I really need to address that lmao. The dishes in my sink are growing things. My plants are crying out for attention. Dusting? What's that? I need to finish that book club read!
They tell you being an idle author is a full-time job. They don't tell you it's a high-powered, 80hrs a week job.
Be patent with me.
