I don't feel as if I have done much this week. Instead I must give credit to my publisher. The e-book version of "The Christmas Story in 40 Days" has been released today!! How exciting is that!!! Now I just hope that I receive my first paper draft yet this week.
As exciting as this is, however, sometimes it was more fun to just hole up in my office, surrounded by the Snoopy collection that I have filled the room with, and write whatever and whenever I wanted. Believe it or not, I spent one semester in college as a marketing major. What was I thinking? It sounded fun at the time, and maybe it still would be fun if it wasn't one or the other of my babies that I was constantly pushing on people.
Sigh. It will all come together, I know that. The fun in writing will return and it will stop being like work. And at least I still have the day job!
Congrats! on the eBook. That's super fantastic. Since I'll be starting to decorate for Christmas this weekend (don't ask; it's a long story), this is very timely. All the best as you move forward. May it be fun again very soon.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the comment. I just have to remember why I write.
DeleteWhat a lovely cover! =)
ReplyDeleteCan you spend even five minutes, a few times a week, just writing whatever you want? Maybe that few minutes, surrounded by Snoopy, could rekindle your passion and joy.
Big things are happening for you. May you find some time to revel in that! =D
The actual book came today. I had asked my publisher to do something special with it, and he came through with flying colors. The book is beautiful!
