100 Author Project – Day 4

I signed up for the 100 Author Project. It’s a project to journal about your writing life for a whole year. Once the year is up, we submit our journal to the project.

I decided to blog and share on social media my daily posts, then put them in the journal. I wanted a way to keep my thoughts and hopefully this will work for me.

November I was in kind of a funk because it is so hard out here to find readers. Especially new readers who have to read on a platform they aren’t used to. I had my little pity party for November and December which meant I didn’t do much episode writing. I did do a lot of thinking about the book.

Being a new author takes a lot of work. You would think I knew this considering I’ve been working with authors for 20+ years. I guess you really don’t get it until you are sitting in the front pew.

It’s hard out here for an author.

The last week of December I had a nice long virtual tea session with myself. I looked at where I was these last few years before I was published. I looked where I want to be and what I need to do to get there.

I’m living my writer’s dream. Nobody said it would be easy, but I’ve learned it can get better with the more books I release and if I get out my feelings.

I decided to put on my big girl panties, kick fear out the door and write these books.

I think journaling will help me get out of my head and my feelings.  I hope my words can be encouragement for you to write your books this year.

My question for you – How do you stay out of your feelings when it comes to your writing?
