My wife’s book comes out on April 1st. My book comes out on May 1st. Our client’s book comes out on April 1st. That’s a LOT of book promotion happening in one house, and it feels pretty overwhelming by the end of the day.
Especially when I get all the drafts ready and find them *poofed* out of my draft file, and I have to start again.
Despite the stress of publication, of marketing, of screaming into a void full of other LGBTQ authors doing the same, it’s still exciting. It’s still another book out in the world. It’s still your words being read by people who like to read and share what they’re reading. It’s a piece of you, a tiny particle of your soul, that you let flow into the universe. And you hope that the little particle will find the people who need it, who want it, who smile when they take it in.
And that’s an important thing to remember. The business of being a writer is hard. But the beauty of being a writer is that your words touch people in ways you can’t expect.
Okay. I have to go do my marketing. Write on, my friends.
