Just keep writing! For me, the hardest thing (obviously since I'm just now getting around to answering your two year old question) is keeping up with the social media aspect being a full-time teacher. Sadly, our education system keeps teachers even more busy with paperwork since the pandemic, and after spending 70-80 hours a week with work, it is VERY hard for me to find the energy to keep up with social media. I try to run promotions and sales on my books during holidays, since that's when I have time off from work. This summer I'm determined to finish my last book in my Greek mythology trilogy (to make it a trilogy officially) so I'm also taking it upon myself to update all my social media pages. I'd say if you have a friend who loves social media stuff, see if you can recruit them to help you out by posting things, join groups (I use Facebook) to share out news about your writing (lots of indie writers/publishing groups out there). But just keep writing no matter what.

Yes, I will usually read every night before I go to bed to help me shut down my brain so I can sleep.

Probably Harry Potter. But since Harry Potter kind of takes place in the real work in the U.K., I'll say How to Train Your Dragon, because 1) I love the movies and 2) who wouldn't want a pet dragon??

I have way too many books on my summer reading list. The summer reading list is really just an all-year reading list. However, I'm currently trying to finish up some books in series by Shayla Black, Cora Seton, J.S. Scott, and Sylvia Day. I'm always reading and looking for new Jane Austen fan fictions by various authors (if you really want a list, I'll give it to you, but there are a lot of JAFF authors I enjoy). I really wanted to reread the Harry Potter series since it's been ages since I've read them, but honestly, I'm not sure if that will happen!
