So, What Gives?
Something's gotta give
Something's gotta give
Something's gotta give
(“Something’s Gotta Give” – words and song by Johnny Mercer; 1954)
Not easy for those who wear the crown of “Indie Author”!
Write. Proofread and Edit. Synopsis. Cover Design. Market and Promote. Shoulder Responsibilities. Juggle Lemons.
With no option to dodge responsibilities, or those proverbial lemons hurled our way, something’s gotta give.
For me, it’s reading.
Ever since I got back in the saddle after falling out of it for eight-nine years, I’ve made a commitment to read and review books written by fellow Indies. However, since I’ve stepped up my writing game, my pleasure reading has fallen by the wayside.
For my own sanity…
Having just finished writing a novella for an upcoming anthology, I’ve decided to moonlight for the month of December by not tackling any in-depth writing project. I’ll wait until January of 2018 to begin working on my next full-length novel.
In the meantime, I intend to step up my reading in an attempt to make a dent in my TBR pile.
I’ll consider this one of my New Year’s resolutions.

I have, sadly, to admit that this is what has happened to me too, when you have only 16 hours a day (I can't sacrifice sleeping) to fit, day job, spending time with family, writing, eating, chores... It is an endless search for some time.

You're absolutely right. I'm trying to make important things my priority again because being an Indie is brutal with very little to gain.
