I'm ALSO taking two marketing/ads courses. There is STILL so much to learn. It is CRAZY how much there is to learn. I mean, DAMN.
I'm also creating a social media presence (slowly but surely) in two different genres. I'm mostly focused on my other pen name at the moment, because I have a lot more written under that name.
I have started working on building my email subscriber list (thus, the above link to bookfunnel!), because this is apparently a hugely important thing to do, especially if you don't have a lot of ad budget to spend. It's another slow process because I am still learning.
I'm ALSO on anti-depressants that have severely tampered with my ability to write. It's like pulling fingernails to get 100 words on the page. I hate it so much. I'm not sure what to do about that.
AND I've been sick as a dog for the last week and a half, so it's been hard to accomplish anything.
It is so hard dealing with chronic mental health issues. I get to so tired of talking about it, I'm sure people get SO tired of hearing it all the time. I end up cutting myself off from everyone and just becoming a total hermit... only to come out months later to find that I've just pushed everyone away. It's ironically depressing in and of itself. I guess I need to learn new coping mechanisms so I can stay in touch with people.
