Just Take the First Step

Yay!  I made it through the first day of my 60 day juice feast!

Today is day 2 and I woke up feeling good.  I've had my hot lemon and a really awesome green juice.  Eventually I'll make my way upstairs, take a shower and shoot the video of the day.  It'll be fun!

For now I gotta work at least for a little bit.  Work on what?  Well the other blog, the social media stuff and the book of course.  The book is nearly done for content but I need to figure out formatting and what or where am I going to put it out there.

See, I've been doing a lot of research about selling books as a self publisher.  Man, I gotta tell you that there are so many places to do that it's almost crazy!

I was originally going to just put up a webpage for it and go that route, but the more I am learning about epublishing and the market that maybe that's not the best way for me to market it given that I don't really have a following just yet and because of my disdain for making websites.

G and I talked at length about these issues earlier this week and we agreed to put off doing the website until later.  Boy did I ever breath a sigh of relief cause having and making a website was really stressing me out.

I'd also like to figure out a better format for it to make it even snazzier than it already is.  I am so proud of this book that I just want to make it the best I can before I put it out there for people to read it.

So that's where I'm at today. Living, working, juicing and loving life.

Time for a Break

I've been really excited about my book.  Like super excited about getting it published and out there.  What an accomplishment to have written a book.  Sadly though for the last few days I've had serious information overload and total frustration over building a website for said book.

I don't want my website to suck. I have an idea of what I want the site to ultimately look, but I seem to spend countless hours getting frustrated over the smallest of details when trying to build it and I'm still not happy with it.

SO I've been reading all this stuff about websites and making them look the best and all it's done is make me more confused and frustrated.  I don't know where to host it or what to do with it at this point.

Who has the best hosting deal?  Who has the best and easiest website builder?  What am I to do?

I guess it's time for me to stop trying to force it and to take a break from it. The ideas will come. Setting it up will be a breeze in time. I will leave it where it is right now.

Feeling Accomplished

Have you ever wanted to do something or be something so badly, but had no idea how to get there or what to do to get started!

Me too!

I've always wanted to write a book.  Always.  Since like forever and ever.  I had great ideas for books too, but for some reason I never could get out of my own way to start.  I was too afraid, or I didn't have enough time or.... You name it.  I had a laundry list of excuses.

Well....those days are long gone.  I've nearly finished writing my first book.  It's not a long one and I'm still working on it, but I am so proud of myself for sitting down and writing it!!

See, last week I read a book called "The Laptop Millionaire" and in it the author, Mark Anastasi has a chapter about ebooks and how everyone should write one and sell it.

For some reason, that chapter really hit home because for a while now, I've been promoting other people's ebooks and products as an affiliate.  It's been rather successful and I am thankful for that, but why not write and promote my own book?

Ah ha!  How cool would that be?  I think it'd be super cool!

..so that's what's I have been working on.  I still need to get a website up and running for it so I can promote it and sell it.  Setting up a web page still has me a bit flummoxed but that's ok.  I wrote a book which is an accomplishment in an of itself!
