My Launch To Success

As an author I used to make promoting and author promoting a rigorous chore that I loathed.

Launching to success doesn't happen over night. It's like baking without the essential ingredients can't make a good cake or pie. A lot of key elements go into this launch to success. Drawing a clear map figuring out what works for us as authors. We all have different ways of doing this, we just got to remember these key things I will be going through right now.

Welcome back! To my audience thank you for reading my blog entries it means so much to me.

If you want to show your support please could you leave tip it's in the left corner of this entry after reading to the end...

Now Let's spill the Tea about My Launch to Success. Maybe my audience might find some inspire on their path.

It's a working progress on my success plan:

March 4, 2024

I wrote this in a highly stressful environment that I don't like working at. So, this has been a stressful few months for me.

My success plan for this year in 2024 prepping for OCD Queen Books and my academic personal plan.

My academic plan for 2024

The first part of my plan is transferring my records to Marshall University from Cleveland State University. Since I was mugged in Tower City Center it gave me a taste of how the world is unsafe. I don’t like this feeling at all. It changed me completely and I needed a sense of familiarity to that’s why I can’t and feel like Cleveland State isn’t the best support system I feel. So here is my personal academic plan to get to where I want to be:

Academic Goals for this year:

Make sure I pass at least 67% and raise my GPA at CSU just so I see that I can do this.

Getting a job temporarily to save money for a U-Haul.

Passing the rest of my classes until spring break starts.

Relaxing more…

Writing Goals for this year…

1.) Working on my writing structure as an author.

2.) Watching more on Authortube.

3.) Starting my Manuscript on Project Code Borderlines. Rough draft on March 16th.

3.) Figure out a more creative pass for this project.

Stress Management Goals:

1.) Figure out how to cope with stress in a healthy manner.

2.) Dissociate when I feel uncomfortable or overstimulated.

3.) Music therapy works wonders.

OCD Queen Books Goals

(That part to be continued on.)

My launch for success on a personal leave makes me nervous. Though I have been working so much. I feel burnt out a lot, yet I push and push. I desire success and not having to struggle to make ends meet. It's very difficult that's why I have to use my creative skills do this. It's my expression for colours. It helps so much, when I'm writing, or promoting. I don't have to make it about business. I want everything to be used as second reflection, to draw in everyone to this new way I am doing this.

This is my weekend Collage I made. It's a way to remember what I need to do for me. Self-care something I lack.

Remembering the difference between business, and a personal life can be hard for some. For some people they would rather stay the night in the office with a post-it stuck to their forehead.

My husband god I love this man, he helped me realise it's important to close that laptop on the weekends, and no work unless it's writing with me.

And so my thoughts on my launch to success are remembering there is a time for business, a time to enjoy quiet, and a time to enjoy family and relax every weekend.

    Self-care is so essential!

    Life can get too busy and worse when you're trying to do it all at once. I've seen better achievement in my work recently, simply by slowing down and ensuring I have family and self-care days. I hope your plan works for you.
