Reflections on a Successful Book-Signing
After last week's successful but exhausting book-signing at Turn the Page in Boonsboro,
I came away marveling at some of the other featured authors who are so much more diligent and productive than I--working a full 8 hours a day ON THEIR WRITING, creating fun (but questionably cost-effective) swag bags and having their spiel down tightly it comes off as second nature.
These gals mean business.
I would love to be that productive, but with productivity comes expectations and with expectations comes stress.
I don't do stress well.
I write when the Muses direct me. I write mostly for the love of writing; if others buy my books and enjoy them, that's a blessing and a bonus.
But I also thought up some promotional ideas of my own that, hopefully, will generate interest and sales in 2018.
I feel like I am really in my element at a book-signing. It was a lot of fun meeting so many nice people last weekend. And to those who purchased one or more of my books, I thank you a million times and hope you enjoy them!
Which leads to next week's post, which will be about GRATITUDE!
