About That Book

So, I’m not gonna lie. I’ve been procrastinating BIG TIME on writing a post for this blog. It’s not because I’m too busy or too tired or too lazy (maybe a little of that) – but it’s because I’m too lost.

If you’re worth your salt, you’ve Googled “blogging” and know that hands’ down it is THE most important self-promotional tool out there for authors aspiring to be published. So last year, I decided to get in the game and create this blog. Problem is, I violated the number 1 rule of blogging: have a plan. Yeah, without a plan my posts rang inauthentic and the supposed “great and inspirational” ideas I had dried up like a puddle in the desert.

Where does that leave me, now?

Working to figure it out and I’m journaling it all right here.

According to good ol’ Stephen Covey: “Keeping a personal journal – a daily in-depth analysis and evaluation of your experiences – is a high-leverage activity that increases self-awareness and enhances all the endowments and the synergy among them.”

The blog won’t be daily – Lord forbid! – but it’ll be bi-monthly, every other Thursday, and will be broken down into segments as I work to get my book published. And since it’s about my book, it will definitely be personal.

Over the course of the next few weeks, I’ll bring you guys along as I review my social media presence, explore sound examples from author’s who’re doing it right and share the updates I make as a result of my research.

Additionally, I’ll fill you in on how my book is going…right now, it’s out to a beta reader, and I’m taking this time to do (more) research on agents, contests and self-publishing. I’ll keep you posted on all that, too! Lucky you!

Well, that’s all for now.

Check you out in a couple of weeks.
