Today’s random word is cheer; the twist is to include a designated line somewhere in the story.

Because drabbles are short, please consider staying on this page for at least 30 seconds. I’d love to know you were here. 💕

Would I have chosen the self-publishing route if I had known about self-promotion difficulties — how exhausting and mentally challenging they are?

Would you have warned me to think again if you only knew the required trials, tribulations, and commitment?

Attending book signings and out-of-country book fairs, I abundantly face opportunities for personal development and self-awareness, watching myself grow. As I cheer myself onward, building my enthusiasm and confidence, I wouldn’t change a thing.

Many say, “If it comes easily, it’s not worth the effort.”

Someday, I will look back at today’s ME and proudly smile.

I’ve written and read drabbles less than usual. Please bear with me while I navigate this self-publishing journey.

Remember to visit Fiction Shorts often daily so you don’t miss my daily drabbles and those of other deserving drabblers.
