I didn't realize that once my book was released, I would have to figure out how to be an author.

It's kind of like when I had my baby—I focused on my pregnancy, and then having the actual baby was nothing that life could have prepared me for. I had to figure it out, daily.

Post-book release, I find myself not knowing what to focus on. Just keep writing? But how? And what? I have about 20 book ideas, and they all feel important! Do I just let my released book go, will it figure out its way? How much does it need me? How much do I have to learn about marketing?

Some days feel dismal and impossible, and other days feel exciting and full of possibility. I am so grateful for the reviews that come in; they support me to continue.

I want to do my very best in and for this world!
