There’s Only One Thing That Matters When You Publish a Book
This is why I haven’t done anything with my second book, even though it is finished.
When I finished my first novel, I couldn’t be happier.
I remember closing my computer with a huge smile on my face, grabbing my phone, and starting to text all my friends and family: “I just finished my book. I’m extremely proud and excited.”
Even though it was the first book I had ever written (and it would probably be the worst of my upcoming projects), I felt like I had done the work of my life. Like I had fulfilled my biggest dream. I had written one of the best romance books that would be published in 2024.
Whenever I reread the manuscript to edit it, I felt proud that I had created such a masterpiece. I couldn’t believe I had written 80,000 words that formed such an exciting story.
After that day, I took a week off just to rest. I felt I deserved it and that only good things would happen after that day. I was successful, happy, and complete.
For me, my first book was one of the best things I’ve done in my life.
