Two Worlds

A writer lives the life of a recluse. Days, weeks, months, (and in my case years) were spent curled up with a laptop...writing, revising, proofreading, formatting...sacrificing time with family, friends, determined to get my thoughts on paper and out to those who will benefit. Sometimes I felt as though I was an open channel, the words flowing supernaturally out of me; it's indescribable. I never felt such a sense of urgency or responsibility to complete anything in my life.

Now I live the life of a publisher, and let me tell you, it's quite a ride. Since school has let out for the summer, I've gone completely OCD, micro-managing every single detail. I can hardly sleep, the excitement in my chest is so intense...I feel like I could burst. Thoughts constantly rushing through my head..to do lists for the next day, marketing strategies, what I will say at my next public speaking engagement.

Two very different worlds: the quiet life of a writer, the fast-paced life of a publisher. I look forward to sharing a glimpse of both. I'll keep you posted through all of it. :)
