The Delightfully Delicious Dilemma

The Delightfully Delicious Dilemma

http://www.jeremycolebooks.com/Books.html

I am to the point with things that I am just about to go ahead and release my next e-book.  The e-book has been done for a while and would be easy to convert over to a print publication.  I have a real talent with overdoing something or rethinking things too much.  When I released my first e-book, I was just having fun.  I didn't have to worry about anything because I didn't have anything to lose.  Now that I have a website, fans, reputation, supplemental income, success, etc... BLAH! BLAH! BLAH!...I worry about losing what I have established.

Don't ever lose sight of why you are writing or illustrating.  I was blessed to be very successful with my first e-book to the point where I am scared of failing.  It's easy to get caught up in all of the ideas other people have or promises that companies may make you.  It can take away and distract you from your talents.  Focus and do what you were designed to do.

Quick Tip for Authors and Illustrators:  Don't get caught up in all of the hype, keep focused!
