I\u2019m experiencing an author\u2019s letdown. I finished another book\u2014well, booklet, Saturday. While this is a good thing\u2014a nice accomplishment\u2014as some of you have probably discovered, completing a book project can leave you feeling rather lost, directionless, without purpose. Sure it\u2019s temporary, but uncomfortable, none-the-less.<\/p>\n
How do you handle that lull that often occurs after you finish a large writing or even editing project? Do you take advantage of the time to relax and regroup? Or do you tend to sort of rattle around your office wondering what to do next? Do you mourn the loss of the intense and purposeful writing project that held your attention for so long? <\/p>\n
Most of us, if we\u2019ve been seriously writing for weeks or months, have mile-long to-do lists\u2014things we\u2019ve been putting off, setting aside or even shoving under the desk. Now is our chance to take care of those things. I can do that. But I still need a meaningful project that I can look forward to each day. How about you? What approach do you take after the book is finished?<\/p>\n
In most cases, when the writing ends, the promotion begins. But what about that lull that occurs after you finish the writing and while the book is with your designer or the publisher, etc.? That\u2019s actually where I am at the moment. My book is an ebook and I\u2019m waiting for my very busy webmaster to put it on my website. I hope to make an announcement about that very soon. <\/p>\n
For now, however, I\u2019m already contemplating my next book project and I\u2019m going to launch an article blast designed to help authors and to keep my name in front of my audience. That\u2019s how I plan to redefine my purpose and feel as though I am accomplishing something.<\/p>\n
How do you handle that sensitive period after you finish the writing? This blog site accepts comments. Please leave yours.<\/p>\n
