An author’s world is incredibly busy. I had an inkling it might be before I started, but I never knew just how busy. I’m taking a much-needed break from the constant promotion and such redirection might allow some of the sadness from recent losses melt away. I know I’ll lose momentum and get buried under a ton of new books and new authors, but it’s important to put my focus elsewhere for a while. I don’t worry I’ll never regain my footing. Every book is new to someone and all’s well the moment I start promoting again. I love this time of year and using other creative outlets will only boost my literary crafting a few short weeks from now. If I know anything about myself it’s that my creativity cascades. I’ll get back into that “zone”. That’s how I managed to write so many books this past year — I got a creative bump from the holidays last year.
🙂 Method to my madness.
While I’m taking a holiday break for making my gifts and baking my cookies, come get acquainted with me and my books.
