But my darlings are now on holiday 'avec papa', so I have no reasons not to do anything. I'd all but decided to let the blog slide while I tinker around with my novel, but now I've read both your post and everyone's comments, I'm not so sure. It's times like this when I wish I wanted to do something really straightforward, ie anything other than write and publish a novel!Sam Penningtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07985355742757891578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3441051266378305651.post-59436263412179319542011-08-02T22:59:14.610+01:002011-08-02T22:59:14.610+01:00It is an endless cycle.

I guess we must keep pushing along, working at it, and yes, writing "the next one." I like your analogy to childbirth...it does feel a little too soon right now. And, yes, it seems neglectful to not promote the first one. It's so hard to prioritize and there are only so many hours in the day! We can only do our best. I'm just glad I'm not alone in trying to figure it out :)Laurel Mayerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01791241021281633749noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3441051266378305651.post-54159802391179247592011-08-02T10:48:48.005+01:002011-08-02T10:48:48.005+01:00A post that hits right at the very heart of every ...A post that hits right at the very heart of every indie author, and funnily enough we seem to be coming to that crossroads you described at exactly the same time because I feel exactly the same way as you do right now. This week is a week of decisions and re-thinking for me, and I just hope that we all find a solution that makes us happy and guilt free, and gives us some time to do the one thing we all love - write! Just don't forget that the support is always there, you know that. :) A well-written and heartfelt post that I can absolutely identify with.Michelle Bethamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09817949482480659900noreply@blogger.com
