THE CRAPPY SIDE OF WRITING

I'm staring at a screen, after an extremely frustrating, full day
of writing and editing. Mostly editing. Without going into details,
I fought with a full manuscript edit for almost eight hours one
day this week. I edited an entire novel only for the edits not to
save properly. There's a long story about a corrupted file. Needless
to say, I cursed and shed a few sloppy tears on my napkin beside the
dinner hubby cooked and brought to me so I wouldn't lose my rhythm.

On top of that, I learned my deadline was changing a little bit for
Tidewater Murder, which really crimped my style pertaining to a
certain speaking engagement. That change sucked the wind right out
of my sails for a while. Maybe I shed a couple more tears. Hubby
pulled my door closed for a while, leaving me alone.

So, once I reached a stopping place, and settled down, I made myself
write this editorial. Why? Because I'm frustrated and wanted to know
how I'd write in that frame of mind . . . and to show those of you
who aren't writing full time that writing for a living can have some
seriously catastrophic days that make you want to throw up your hands
and simply say "WHY DO I DO THIS?"

I've sat at conferences watching the speaker smile, chuckle, and
talk about how hard writing is, but then preach/lecture/instruct
the audience to just stick it out. (finger snap) Just like that
you're supposed to decide that nothing will stop you. No emotion in
the lesson. All tell and no show.

I want to wipe that smile off that successful face and ask them
to SHOW me. Quit TELLING. I want them to show me through detailed
anecdotes. . .

1. How they almost quit one night over a rejection;
2. How they wanted to strangle an editor;
3. How they behaved when they lost an entire story on the computer;
4. How, after ten chapters, they realized the story had no purpose.

Or how about answering these questions:

1. How much money did they really make on that self-pubbed book?
2. Did they ever make a fool of themselves with an editor/agent?
3. When did they make a bad decision on selling rights?
4. After expenses, how much money do they really net after a
traditional publisher kept 92% of the print proceeds and 75%
of the ebook gross earnings?
5. Was there ever a time he was a bad writer?
6. How did that one-star review REALLY make him feel?

Give me the dirt . . . all of it. Why? Because I need to know
what's coming at me. I need to understand that there will be
nights like this, where I doubt myself and crave an easier life.

We write for the satisfaction. But no one tells us about the nights
we feel like our writing sucks, or that the planets are aligned
against us. Those are the times that define us in this profession.
Coming out on the other side of those bad nights intact, with the
shards of our wits swept up off the floor, with lessons painfully
learned leaving deep scars behind, makes us decent writers.

No pain, no glory.

Okay. Big sigh. Excuse me while I return to beat up my keyboard.

THE SHY WRITER REBORN is out!
An Introvert's Wake-Up Call

This is not a book to make you enjoy being extroverted. It's not
a drama manual or a mental adjustment how-to that makes you
something you're not. This is a book to help you deal with the
world of writing in your own fashion. It's a book to show you
that it's natural to feel like you do...to show you there are
others feeling the same. It's okay to be a shy writer.

www.amazon.com/The-Shy-Writer-Reborn-Introverted/dp/0988974509/
The Shy Writer Reborn is now available on Amazon in print, and
on Kindle, Scribd, Kobo, Copia and Nook in ebook.

The number one thing that holds writers back is fear. For introverts
— who, ironically, are drawn to writing because they think you can do
it alone — the fear is even bigger. Interviews, book signings, public
speaking — many of the tasks of a freelance writer demand that you be
social and perform. But don’t fret — Hope has solutions in The Shy
Writer Reborn that let you make the most of who you are instead of
asking you to change your personality.

SUCCESS OF THE WEEK
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Hi Hope-

Thanks to the Funds for Writers newsletter, I learned about the
Fabri Literary Prize and entered my first novel. I recently found
out that I won, and that my first book In Violet's Wake will be
published by Counterpoint Press in Berkley! Included with this
honor is a $7,500 advance and $5,000 marketing budget- unbelievable
for a first time novelist! I am deep into the editing process and
learning a lot from the helpful folks at Counterpoint. Thank you
for your great leads. I feel very lucky- but I also know that part
of the key to success is in getting past the fear and submitting-
and to continue going back to that fire, even when you get burned.
Funds for Writers has been a great resource for me, and I know it
will continue to be!

Seven Lessons Reluctantly Learned from Publishing My First Book
by Noelle Sterne

When your first book is finally accepted and (miracle!) published,
you may think all your writing problems are solved. But I found
that publication, like finally losing those stubborn ten pounds,
isn’t the Nirvana we imagine it to be.

In the process of publishing my first book, I’ve learned some
important lessons, shared here. I hope these seven (and I’m sure
they’re only a fraction) help you cushion your own publication
shock and plan your counterattacks.

1. Tell everyone. Perfect your elevator pitch—a one-sentence
explanation to rivet the person who’s getting off the floor
ahead of you. Here’s mine:

In Trust Your Life: Forgive Yourself and Go After Your Dreams,
I apply practical spirituality to help you let go of regrets,
relabel your past, and reach your lifelong yearnings.

Then I mumble something about AmazonB&NBooksAMillionKindleNook
and whip out my bookmark, which coincidentally displays purchase
and website information.

For nonfiction pitches, see Ann Brandt, “Marketing Your First
Nonfiction Book,” Writing World, 10:22, Nov. 18, 2010. For fiction
pitches, see AuthorBuzz, http://www.authorbuzz.com/dearreader/firth.shtml.

2. Once you broadcast the good news, accept congratulations graciously.
Don’t deflect: “Awww, it’s only my first. Miss Successful-Author-
Five-Years-Younger has twelve.” Instead, reply like a seasoned
author: “Thank you so much for your kind words.”

3. Climb on your platform. When you’ve finally finished the last
revision, or, as experts counsel, much before, concentrate on your
platform. This is everything you can think of to promote your book:
book launch, ads, press releases, blogs, websites, social media,
articles, interviews, book tours . . . . Post your book notice on
Facebook, tweet about it, Pinterest it. See, for example, Clary
Lopez, “The Ultimate Book Launch Party,”
http://ezinearticles.com/?The-Ultimate-Book-Launch-Party&id=857042.

4. Watch out for promotion envy. Someone always does it bigger and better.
Larger launches, finer wine, catered monogrammed mini-cakes, more
blogs posted, excerpts published, ads placed, reviews acquired, book
clubs toured, interviews given, TV shows graced, emails blasted, friends
liked, tweets twitted. Do what you can—sanely. For inspiration, good
judgment, and gentle stretching of your comfort boundaries, see Christina
Katz’s excellent article on platform-publicity-building, “50 in Five
Minutes a Day,” http://www.writersdigest.com/whats-new/50-simple-ways-to-build-your-platform-in-5-minutes-a-day.

5. Guard against Overwhelm. Staring at an endless list of bloggers
inviting guests, radio shows inviting interviews, or excellent ezines
for excerpts from your book, you can feel like you’ve been handed a
shopping list for double septuplets. Regain your bearings by sorting
out your priorities, and choose just one.

6. Write about what you’re experiencing. If you have the urge to write
about the entire process, do it! Spilling can help frustration, worries,
and engulfment. For the first ten days after acceptance, I kept a “Book
Journal” that channeled much of my anxiety. A journal may seem like
it’s taking you away from revisions or yet more promotion. But you’ll
feel better, and you’ll have the makings of a blog.

7. There is writing life after publication. When your book finally
appears, in print and multi-e-forms, and you’ve got the publicity on
a decent schedule, go back to your writing routine.

Get to the next writing project you left hanging or pine for. You’ll
feel more balanced and, paradoxically, despite your first-book
publication, more like a writer again. My new project (admittedly
publicity-related) is excerpting passages from Trust Your Life into
articles and editing them for appropriate markets, judiciously cutting
and reworking snappy endings that don’t segue to the following chapters.

These lessons should help arm you in advance to better ease the
publication shock, handle the disenchantment, and regain your writing
routine. And keep you glowing with the wonder of publishing your first
book.
