Pacing the new author floor
My Latest Book
Living the life of an up and coming writer, but still
unknown (just published my third book ‘American Celebrations’) is not easy, on so many levels. Every time I publish a new book, I pace the floors hoping that people will like it. As I pace, I look down and the floor seems a lot farther down than I first thought. Sure would not want to fall on my face. But that is the chance you take when you put it all out there. Everyone can see your ‘exposed being’. And everyone has an idea of what you should do and what you should write and the way you should write it.
My skin is not that thick yet and I cannot wait to be found,
and become someone—in the writing world—I just know that James Patterson jettisoned that hang-up a long time ago. But pace I will, until I get that first email, or letter, or phone call, that I just know is coming. I will wait and they will send and it will sell—I close my eyes and can see it know.
