Dangers of Doubt!
It is so easy to doubt yourself. I've gained a lot of confidence in the last few years, but I still battle doubts daily. Every time I take a new risk, I start to wonder what will happen if I fail. What if no one likes my latest book? What if no one reads it?
The ebook for Cottage Cheese Thighs was released on Thursday and the paperback is available today. I only know of one person who downloaded the ebook. I have pre-orders for about 80 paperback copies, but that's just supportive family and friends. They say they love my stories, but their love for me makes them somewhat biased.
Will strangers be inspired by my journey? Will it teach other women to love their bodies, flaws and all? Will I have the impact I'm intending?
I really don't know anything for certain and the slow start regarding sales opened the door to doubt. I sold 16 copies of my Dark Confessions of an Extraordinary, Ordinary Woman ebook in the first week. I sold 22 copies of my second ebook within 5 days. Selling only one copy in 3 days has me a little worried.
Will that stop me? Hell no! I believe in this story. I think every women needs to read it and a slow start is not a reflection of its potential. I just need to work harder to spread the word.
I've spent the last few years, pushing past doubts and proceeding regardless of the risk. So far, I've sold hundreds of the first two books (which is not bad for a local, unknown author) and I'm going to assume the same or greater success for Cottage Cheese Thighs.
I can't expect others to believe in me if I stop believing in myself. It took me a long to develop the confidence I have now and I refuse to let doubt destroy it.

Proud of Myself!
Some women have a hard time complimenting themselves or recognizing their worth in society. I used to be one of them. My expectations of myself far exceeded anything I would ask of anyone else. I would critic my appearance and abilities as if I was worthless. I was my own worst enemy.
Not any more! Writing Cottage Cheese Thighs reminded me that I am beautiful, inside and out. I've never felt more confident and capable. I'm delivering copies of my book, with my dimply thighs on the cover, and beaming with pride. I'm not ashamed of this body. More importantly, I'm proud of my journey and thrilled to be sharing it with the world.
I truly believe this book will help other women see their real beauty. That has been the response from those who've finished it and it feels incredible. My stories are having a positive affect on other people! I'm so proud of how far I've came in the last few years. There's no stopping me now!
