"SOMETHING BIG!"

 

                                          

                                             Finalizing a Long-Awaited Project

 

Waiting for anything substantial is equivalent to the Christmas holiday from many perspectives. Unfornatually, not everything can be completed in seconds like microwaved popcorn.

As with most things in life, greatness require time. That includes writing, editing, and promotion of a book.

Okay, so you don’t like waiting, but what I’ve learned in this life is that all good things are worth waiting for, even if you’re the person handling the project and mostly doing the waiting.

Anticipating your next big project is always filled with equal portions of excitement and apprehension. Because we know what our expectations are, but that doesn’t necessarily apply to others.  

No matter how enthusiastic we are about a major announcement, sometimes that can get lost in all the other things involved with the project.

I don’t know about most authors, but I like creating a buzz months before my book is even ready for distribution. It’s crucial to alert your readers to pre-order a copy and share the information with other readers.

Free publicity is priceless and so helpful in helping you achieve your goals. Not only that, you can build book sales before and after the release. (Hint-Hint).

Having something significant to share is like a boost of adrenalin straight to the nervous system that gets you pumped and ready for showtime. It encourages you to contemplate more activity on a grander scale.

All the frustration and anxiety before the big date will float away like clouds on a sunny day. All right, that was a bit philosophical, but you get the picture.

Alas, when the dust and all the hoopla have settled from your project, take a bow and a deep breath of relief until the next Something Big occurs.
