I think we can get so focused on defining ourselves only as writers that we forget to lead balanced lives. I hope this one works its magic for you.Deborah J.

The ebook that came out last month went through three delays, three editors, two publishers, two major overhauls, and doesn't have any reviews or stars or anything after six weeks out. -sigh- I learned a lot from writing it, and I know my writing has gotten better, but it kind of feels like I put it out and it just died. It's a damn good book, though. I do believe that.<br /><br />But I'm going out of town today to a (non-writing) retreat back east, so hopefully that'll help get me out of this slump.tcastlebhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07807432271469188025noreply@blogger.com
