. ... as
if I am some Christmas junkie hiding my secret in shame.
Football has kicked off
And most importantly… it’s Pumpkin Season.
Maybe it’s something about the scent and celebration of the arrival of pumpkin that brings on the festive move. These are the fastest few months of the year.
I’ve got my ear out for my monster-boys and the things they
want for Christmas .. I’m making a list and placed things on alert when the go
on sale.
I have my recipes printed out for the meals I want to try
and experiment on the family for football games. It’s Florida... This is
football country.
I have my address
list ready for Christmas cards.
I have this planned. The holiday season is when I feel I’m
the most productive.
So here I am with all these lists and order for everything
in my life besides the one P I need to work on.
When it comes to promotion, hey! I can re-tweet, share, or
post your stuff. But when it comes to my work… I suck at it. I just want to
write. If I’m promoting and submitting stuff… I’m not writing. Have you ever
seen the Eddie Murphy/Steve Martin movie, BOWFINGER? There’s a scene in there
that reminds me about having to promote and get the word out. Here’s my
favorite scene.
I am nowhere near the point where I can have someone do work
for me. My kids—with all their savvy techno stuff have 0 interest in helping me... but that's cool...
So I have to rely on planning out a day or one morning to make sure I do my promoting. I can do this…right?
Have a great month!
xoxo
PS....
Carolyn, I so hear you on all you're saying. I just want to write not promote, but if I don't promote who will buy my writing? Promotion is a necessary evil. Fortunately, my kids are older and do help and I no longer have to be Mom's Taxi. By the way, "Bowfinger" is one of my favorite movies. Steve Martin and Eddie Murphy are both so good in that movie! And I loved that the illegal Mexicans are soon carrying cell phones and wearing fancy watches--as if they'd been in Hollywood forever. :) When I saw it, my daughter and I had been to see "Sixth Sense" first. I'm not usually spooked by scary movies, but that one set me on edge and my husband was out of town and I had to go to our home in a rural area alone. So, I told my daughter I had to see something funny first, so we turned around and bought tickets to "Bowfinger". Worked for me and is still a favorite movie. Stay safe!
