Re: QOTD: Monday, May 20th
I wrote a "sugar freedom" book last year and someone said I had no business writing, never mind publishing it as I'd only been off sugar for about 90 days at that point. I didn't accept his statement that I had no business writing it, but I could see where people would expect the author of such a book to be free of sugar for a longer amount of time, so I shelved it for this year, figuring he was probably right and that people would take it more seriously if I had longer living a sugar free lifestyle than that short amount of time (though I'd been living low sugar for years, no sugar was new). Maybe that was fear of rejection? It seemed more like a practical decision though.

But have moved on to other things. I might still edit and publish the sugar book, but I'm a lot more excited about my "joy" book now. Before I get started on that, I feel like I ought to publish my habit book (also written last year). Maybe there's fear of rejection behind the delay there. But more it seems I'd rather write than figure out how to publish (I still have yet to figure out Amazon formatting, cover design, how to gather emails, what people would want from an email list etc.). I know how to write. The rest is all something I still need to learn. So I just might start on my joy book. It will give me more joy to write it and lets me procrastinate a while longer on learning all the publishing things.
