No Book Sales ….
Had an amazing vacation week with my family. My husband made the commitment to disconnect from work entirely which was very difficult for him to do given this is their busy time of year. So I decided to do the same, I didn’t check the report that tells me who has purchased the book and in what format. I also didn’t post on social media or do any blogging. I just spent time with my family. It was lovely, truly wonderful. Best family vacation so far. Checked the report this morning and no book sales while I was gone.
Hmm …. Now I knew my book sales would take a dive, I’ve have reached capacity regarding people I know, so now we are looking entirely at people I don’t know. It was disheartening though I will admit. I am also at a place where I am about a month behind on the next book if I actually expect to be able to release it next year. SO …. what do I do? Lay off promoting the book and write? I think that is what most authors would tell me to do. You can’t sell anything if you don’t write it. People don’t really trust an author with just one book out there. Most authors take years for even the most modern version of success. I know all this and yet, I feel compelled to keep pounding on the drum. I think though, that I should take a step back and focus on Taylor and her journey, she’s got a lot left to figure out. How to actually live in the world, how to feel her version of safe. Could she ever fall in love? These are all the questions running around in my head and I want to get them out there.
Coming up from me I think you’ll hear about the audio book release, hopefully, *ehem* audible, hurry up. I am also going to try and do a few book events in the fall.
