This is critical: „Fulfillment Is Found in the Process, Not Just the Outcome“. I thought my fairytale was brilliant and would sell well as my first self published book - it actually didn‘t. But through it I learned so that my first business book got the Amazon bestseller list (not from friends).
The best thing from this post for me was that I don't have to write a book of 70,000 or 80,000 words. I tend to write short. I'd sooner say what I have to say and say good-bye. So thanks for reminding me that not every reader wants a big, fat, thick book.
Love this because I am encouraged to keep going even though I’ve only sold a handful of books! You saying it’s a long game is confirmation for me. And you are right! The feeling of accomplishment? Sublime. It brightens my day to see my books sitting on easels at my bedside table. My book is so ready to get out that it doesn’t care how short it is!😂😂
I real like how you describe that books are seeds. I have books that I bought 20 years ago, and only reading now. Sometimes a book that might not be relevant now can become relevant later. Thank you for the encouragement to keep writing.

Right?! Sometimes the ones we think will go big won’t and then the ones we wrote out of duty or something are the ones that take off.
I can relate to that book that didn't sell. After a long hiatus, I'm ready to publish numbers 2 and 3. This is timely for me, thanks.
Yes! I can’t wait to hear about those books hitting shelves.

Write that short book and get that thing published! Can’t wait to hear about it going live!
