the wait is over

It is finally here!!  My debut novel was published and it is now available.  I cannot express what a wonderful feeling it is to say that.  It has been over twenty years; which I know I have on multiple a=occasions, but I am super excited.  This book has my blood, sweat and tears in it.  I remember so many times I have wanted to quit; and honestly I almost did.  I was frustrated with editing and even writing the book.  I'm not going to lie, writing a book takes dedication.  The next thing in the que is to promote the book.  Since I do not have a large following, it makes it a little difficult to get people to read my book.  My family and friends have been a great asset by telling people they know, and sharing my social media posts on their own pages.  My production team has created a few social media posts for me and I have a close friend who has done the same.  I dedicated a lot of time developing this book, now it is time to continue introducing it to the world.  I would say my fellow new writers, be ready to go through all the emotions; but, continue the journey.  Be prepared to feel hopelessness, frustrations and doubts, but don't let it drag you down.
