The God of Recycling

Wow! When I saw all the boxes last night I broke into a cold sweat! It seems like I've been waiting for this day for such a long time, and it's finally come! Just look at the tower of boxes. It's really exciting...the books are in my garage...just like other authors! Now to go through the list, one for this person, 10 for this shop, 6 for these libraires...I know I'll be down to a small box once the count is over. Spreading the word about recycling through a little boy, Johnny Green, is so satisfying - a ritual we should all be taking part in daily, recycling that is. The cans go here, the bottles go here and the paper goes in this pile. Just like sorting through the books. I think there is a God of Recycling that watches us to see what we are going to do with that piece of junk mail that the mailman delivers us. Now, once people read Johnny Green, they will always sense the presence of the God of Recycling! How could you not with a story as unbelievable as this! You can order your book through Xlibris, or wait and order it from Amazon or B&N in the near future! Enjoy it!

One Step Back

Taking a step back or considering what is done and gone is not always a bad thing. It's a reminder of how far you have come, what you've learned and helps you refocus on where you are headed. I've had to do this over and over with Johnny Green and the Little Green Man and now that I'm becoming comfortable with how many steps back I've had to take, the light at the end of the tunnel is finally closer then ever! What a relief to be on the home stretch. I recently told my daughter that the road in life is long, but it's what you make of the journey that is important. Ha! I think this was really meant for me - I've been considering it much more probably than she has. Over and over, I've posted on this Blog that it's almost done (Johnny Green), almost done and now I'm done with that. It'll be done when it's done and to my satisfaction this time around. It's been a wild road...looking back I've learned so much about self-publishing a book. Going forward I will consider where I've been and focus on. My thoughts now are consumed with where I've dare not to go until now and that is marketing my book, both locally and nationally. It's a great feeling of accomplishment to get to this next step! Several steps back and one step at a time going forward! P.S. Become a fan of Johnny Green!
