Going Gray #5 | How to Mentally Cope During Transition
So many times, we hear about the tangible steps we can take to aid in our transition to gray/silver hair. But, I wanted to talk a little about mental steps we can incorporate to assist us through to the other side of transition. I hope you enjoy it and it helps in some way.
Please feel free to leave a comment or let me know if there is anything, in particular, that you'd like to hear from me.
For many of us writers, we have a clear cut idea of what success will look like for us. For others, not so much. What are your criteria for determining whether or not you have become a success as a writer or author?

It's been a crazy several months. I haven't died or anything. I've just been busy with some life things. It happens.

I received my first negative review, today. I've always wondered how I would feel when this finally happened. I died a little on the inside and felt all kinds of emotions. Not because I was offended, but because I had to agree with a few of her points.
How do you react or respond when you receive a negative review? Or, how do you anticipate that you'll feel when it happens? Let me know.

I've tried all week to get a video uploaded for you guys. My "high-speed internet" wasn't so high speed. So, now it's Saturday, and I'm just able to get it up and going. Did a little bit of writing. Settled on my WIP's title, and played around with it's cover art.

Finally, I published WANDERLUSTED! It's available now, on Amazon. I also have my website up and functioning, so be sure to check that out! I have a sample chapter from WANDERLUSTED available for you to read. Let me know what you think. Now, I'm moving on to write the next novel in the Threadbare Nomads Series.
I'm so excited about this release. I hope you are, as well.

As I continue working on my next novel in the Threadbare Nomads Series, I'm encouraged to dig even deeper this go around. I picked up Donald Maass' Writing the Breakout Novel, once again. It's been my "go-to" for years now. He honestly breaks everything down with regard to the publishing industry and how we actually hold the reigns to our writing success or failure.
Let me know in the comments if you've read this book. Also, let me know where you're at in your writing endeavors.

As I was getting ready to sit down for my writing sprints, this morning, I realized that I have to have so many things in order before I feel like I'm ready to tackle my writing for the day. Are you like that? If so, tell me what your writing rituals are.
