Now What? II

I feel like the holidays just kinda snuck up on me. We go away each year now because of the neighbors...2 years ago when the SWAT team was crawling across my cars and lawn was enough for me. I live in suburbia where depression over the holidays almost feels stronger or more pronounced. It only took one Christmas Day of sitting in my basement to really see how awful the holidays can be for others. Last year the SWAT team was back out for someone else a few streets away...no neighborhood is free from this pain regardless of income.

I think in the new year I will start to push my book with marketing and finding as many avenues as possible to sell it. I have booked some signings and many book stores are allowing me to bring my book into their store after the holidays...it's a start! Part of me wants to dive right back into writing and the other part is pushing me back and wanting me to give everything I can right now to my family, and I think that's more than fair.
