I am settling in to the reality of being a published writer. It's exciting, yes, but it is also not the end of the road. In fact, it's more like I have now made a turn and have started on a new road. I want my writing to be read. By many people. I am not sure that my publishers are going to be as helpful as I would like with this so it is going to fall back on me to get this book out there. There are some problems with this.........I am not really sure where to start and I am not the best at self promotion. I need to be a bit braver and start pushing my work. At the same time, though, I need to keep moving forward with my next project. I was going really well with the research and had started writing and then got distracted with the publication of A Bare Chronicle of Existence and now it is hard to work out where to start again. It is also hard to work out how to balance my time between the promotion of the published work and the continuation of work on the current project. Maybe all of these ramblings are another method of procrastination! Here I am starting another blog so that I have something that seems productive but is really just distracting me from all the other work I should be doing! Time for some lists, Rebecca. A list in a notebook that I can cross off the tasks as I complete them. A bit of structure! A way to try and keep me focused. Right - so enough blogging for now - time to get organized and focused. Speak soon!
