Retirement

I remember how excited I was when I announced that I had published a book.  Despite not being all that I wanted it to be, it did take a lot of effort on my part.  While I am pleased with my accomplishment and the fact that I was able to tell my story, the truth is most of the world doesn’t care. 

I have been contemplating for a while on what to do with the book.  I haven’t sold a copy, I have given a lot of them away and that helped to get my story into the hands of the people that I wanted to have it. 

I have made some revisions.  I am thinking about things to add and then publishing it again but in a slightly different format.  I am partial to hard back and most books that are published today are done in soft back.  I like the glossy cover.  The content of the book I thought was the hardest thing, but that wasn’t the case at all.  It was the design of the cover.  That is what provided me with the greatest challenge.  I’d love to tell people I interact with both on a personal and professional level that I am a published author.  However, people will be quick to ask what did you write – what’s it about? 

Given the fact that I haven’t sold a single copy I have retired the book a short time ago today.  It is no longer available for purchase.  Once it’s the work of art that I want it to be, I will make it available again to the world.  That will probably be a while. 

Considering that we are nearing the end of the month, I changed the photo at the top of the page.  I decided to keep the overall theme the same for now.  It’s always a tough decision when I go to look for a photo, I have a difficult time deciding.  Partially because I get paralyzed by choice.

So there you have it, a 2nd post on a Sunday from me.
