I’m an author! Now what…? This is the feeling that began in July and persisted through August. What should I be doing? Am I doing anything? Was it all worth it?
I have often felt like I haven’t done much since writing the book, but that isn’t true. I reached out to a hundred people in order to secure reviews. I reached out to every career center in DC as well as many news outlets. I’ve made calls. I’ve sent email. Crickets. So I’ve done what I can, I’ve gotten back to work.
I’ve been working on an audio book version as well as doing a new round of edits for an update. Confusing paragraphs have been clarified, wonky grammar adjusted, and redundant sections removed. Formatting is much more consistent. The result has been a book that is much more reader friendly. It is leaner, meaner, and more crisp.
In other news I’m a semifinalist in a poetry competition! The final results come out in December so stay tuned! I hope to do more competitions for writing, and have started building a calendar.
