One Brave Step Forward

It's a scary thing... to realize that for 2 years you have shut down. 

A pandemic hit. A normal routine was thrown off completely. A massive job change. A new job. And new worries. A war on the other side of the world. 

Two years is a long time. You don't even realize it has past til you pick up your book and try to edit.  That is where I am. Finishing the edits I started two years ago.  Writing two more at the same time. But this time coming back with a passion and a goal. 

I mean honestly I had a passion, but the goal was fuzzy.
Submit my first book for publishing. .
.. Wow, when I look back and think about it.
I swear... I didn't know what I was doing.   

So in 2020, I re-met a lady who always inspired me even when our interactions were very brief before. Through our many conversations that year, she mentioned that she had published a book. I was like What?!? How?!? Her life was as busy as mine, but without a husband but with a kid. It sounded like a dream. Someone like me? Who dreamed of doing it and then did it? 

We chatted about it awhile. She was afraid to share her title with me. I guess she was worried what anyone would think. Didn't even use her real name. She had self-published it through Amazon. 



What are your thoughts? Amazon? Traditional way? What?
