I've told y'all before how those Facebook memories are a two-edged sword, and can be both a blessing and a curse. These two images are from my Facebook memory this morning. As you can probably imagine, I am feeling a little blue. The back spasms really derailed me. I rested all weekend, and today am going to try to do a little more and hope my back is ready for it.
When I saw the sales and page reads figures in this post, my first thought was, "Dang, I was having a much better sales and earnings year in 2022 compared to this year." Because, sadness provides negative thoughts very readily.
But then something important caught my eye. Six books. On July 1, 2022, I had published six books. Here are my year-to-date graphs for July 1, 2024.
Ten books! With everything I have lived through in the past two years, I still managed to write, edit and publish four books. I may not be enjoying the sales and page reads that I would like to, but I am still creating. And I have a web page and domain name now. And I have an ad in my church bulletin. And I have business cards.
Instead of focusing on what I can't control, which is my sales and page reads, I am going to focus on how well I am managing the things I can control. My writing and my efforts to grow my reader base.
Onwards and upwards friends. Thank you Facebook for reminding me I am doing a better job than I give myself credit for.
