Life After Releasing my Debut Novel
By Kelly Smith
When I started to write my series Signs in the Rearview Mirror; Leaving a Toxic Relationship Behind, turned book, I had no idea what life would look like after its release. In my mind I imagined writing, turning in my completed manuscript into my editor and then collecting a paycheck.
WOW. I could not have been more wrong. After pouring my heart out all of my laptop and turning it in, it was returned to me so many times for rewrites my head was spinning. There were days I sat in my office and yelled at my words for not doing what I wanted them to do.
Then the release came. But months before that I began to promote my book. This was also not an easy task nor was it cheap. But when it was released and I began to promote, I saw the way people reacted to it and slowly I began to appreciate the time and effort I put into my book. I wrote it with the intention to help and to inspire others and it was working.
I have received messages from all the world thanking me for writing this book. People have stopped me in public to thank me and just want to meet me. It has been surreal, but also an incredible ride. I look forward to beginning my next project of my second book, but for now I will continue to enjoy this ride and promote my book so I can help as many people as I can.
