Who Sets Your Priorities?

Let's go with the premise that we have only one life to live. Do you let others make their priorities yours? It took me a LONG time to learn that if I can't decide what's important to me, then I'm not really living. I'm existing in someone else's life and dreams. Mine get lost in the dust. You have a right to say no, and you have a right to say "this is how I'm going to spend my time, thank you very much." Then, when the day is done, you'll have no regrets.

New York or CreateSpace?

I'm at a crossroads. Do I take the couple of years to query agents and editors, or do I take an hour and publish on CreateSpace? Still thinking...
All the social media has to be connected, website, Facebook, Twitter, Blog.
New content should be posted often. When does the writer have time to write?
So many questions to ask yourself when you're at this point. There isn't a wrong answer.

Choices and Trade-Offs

My parents just celebrated their 70th anniversary. My husband and I just celebrated our 46th. Staying married is not easy. I once wrote an article about Choices and Trade-Offs in relationships. We each make choices about what we can and cannot tolerate, and with those choices come trade-offs, something that we feel is worthwhile. I'm being vague, but each person who has been in a long-term relationship knows what I'm talking about.

Question

How many of you writers who are self-published enjoy the promotion side of this business? Do you have any tips?

On With the New!

Instead of waiting around to see what an agent thinks of my book, I started a new one yesterday. The research part is always fun, and I was able to write the synopsis, so I pretty much know what's going to happen in the book. Of course, there are always surprises, and that's the best thing about creating. I hope all you creative people out there are taking time for creativity. It enriches your life, as you already know.
