I can really relate to this! The marketing part of this job, and the social media component of it, feels soul sucking. I appreciate your honesty about it and the way you've found a way to make peace with it in a sustainable way.

We'll see if it works. So far so good for now. Thanks for reading.

I can relate to this so hard. All I want to do is write! I long for the days when that's all writers had to do. But those days are long gone, so I, like you, need to buck up and do the marketing. Glad you found a way forward.

It's the toughest hat we authors wear, imho. And sounds like your surgery went well, very glad for you, Reta.

Doing well, traveling, and moving forward. Thanks for always reading what I write, even the garbage. :)
