I'm not exacly sure where to start with this one, I am more of a person who writes short stories, novels, and chapter books. But the more I do things the more I come to understand that I don't know even half of what I am doing, am I going to continue writing books? am I going to work hard so I can stop working that 9-5 and finally do something that I feel I was more born to do?
With this came the idea of starting something with ETSY, yes, I started my own etsy shop, I decided to go out of my comfort zone and start a shop that I knew absolutely nothing about how to do. With that came the thought "What exactly am I going to sell?" Then it came to me, digital items, such as planners, calendars, bookmarks, phone backgrounds, and many other things. (Speaking of which I am thinking of making a digital notebook.) Anyway! To start off my adventure I started doing research online for "How to start making digital planners." This led me absolutely nowhere and I got lost at something that should have been a very simple thing to start, Then I decided to start out on PowerPoint. Ah yes, Powerpoint, the app that I use to make videos and slideshows. Who would have thought that it could also be used to make planners and whatnot?
To make the long story short, I started out making planners, and selling them on etsy, yes I got a few views but nothing hooked. So I started making calendars, this also did not get anyone hooked. So to come up with more ideas I started making bookmarks to which again, nothing. So I started making phone backgrounds, which sold to one person. Working hard, day and night, while working 8-5:30 and doing college courses I continued on making things that have yet to be sold. "What could I possibly do that I haven't done before?" To answer this question, I started a Facebook page. I also connected my shop to my Instagram, Pinterest and started making videos. And yet still, nothing has seemed to work my views went from getting many a day to getting nothing a day, What could I possibly be doing wrong? I advertise I put items up for sale new items each month. I started a new bulletin board kit, I continuously create new products, I promote, I give out sales and yet I get zero sales.
Now that I got that rant out of the way, back to the writing. So as I was saying I am known more for my writing in fiction books, fantasy novels. I have had writer's block for about two months now, so what happened was I was writing my book called rain for awhile now but before that I was writing a book called running through the rain which got denied for a sign up, anyway so I wanted to work on that book again later as it got denied ad I was hoping that if I started in on a new book it would give me a chance to try again with a different book, and I completely forgot about my running through the rain book and focused totally on the current book I was now writing at the time, long story short I reconnected with the running through the rain book and I am now working through writers block because for some strange unknown reason my mind wants to work on two different books at the same time, so I tried that, I tried to work on two books at the same time. This ended very badly and now I am unsure of exacly what to do. Do I finish one book and start the other again, do I finish one and start over with the other?
I can tell you what I will not do, I will not give up.
