I have found the holidays are not what I expected them to be.
It is hot for one thing. I live in Kentucky. It doesn't always snow on Christmas but it is usually cold and since I put Christmas lights up outside in a short-sleeved shirt it is kind of ridiculous. But I am glad that the kids can go outside and run around.
I've been so focused on trying to promote my book that I haven't finished picking up presents for the family. If I had a credit card, I would buy everything online so I don't have to go to the store. It would just be easier...
I've also been a little discouraged. I thought my family would be more supportive of the new book. But it seems as if they don't even acknowledge it's been published...(Sigh).
I know everyone has other things on their mind but couldn't they comment on the cover or the title. They don't have to read it -yet- but I do want some reviews from them by the end of January.
Am I being selfish for wanting them to focus on me for a few seconds?
I guess I need to forget about the book until after the holidays and then focus on it full-force, until the next book is ready to be released. I do know one thing for certain, I will make sure the next book comes out in the spring, so I don't have to worry about other things, just the book.
