Life of Pol

It seems forever ago when I first started talking about the fact that Steve and I would be moving to Colorado when I retire, but it's already almost mid April, and come February I'll retire! Once my retirement begins, we will begin the process of figuring out our finances and then prepare to sell the house (that will be difficult, because we have fallen in love with it). When the time comes I will be posting many more entries here, so you will be able to follow along and join us on our new adventure!

I've had the worst week in a long while. Allergy attack from hell, and not being able to call into work, back is stiff from putting down a stone patio last Saturday, and worse, I haven't been able to write in five days because I'm so congested from the damn allergies!

Well, it's happening again. That feeling of negativity that invades my soul every so often.  I can't help but go through periods of excitement while I'm writing and when I release a book, but I quickly fall back to earth when things don't play out the way they did in my imagination.  I work my ass off for what? I published with self-publishing companies like iUniverse in the past and spent way too much money. Then I began publishing eBooks because that's where the money was being made and it was more cost friendly.  I did better, but not great.  Eventually, I started turning those eBooks into paperbacks because many people voiced how they don't like eBooks, but those paperbacks sit with no action.  There are more times than I care to recall that I just want to give it all up. But I know I won't. I won't, not simply be use I can't stop writing, but because I owe it to Steve to do everything possible to provide him with a secure future.  But something ...

No matter how many days go by when feel I may be simply spinning my wheels, I will continue writing with the hopes that one day it will all pay off. 

Little by little the world of the Serpenteens is growing. The books are finally in paperback, and now we have the first book trailer!! Enjoy! Serpenteens Book Trailer!
