Before publication, I had an internal drive to write the best book I could and get it out there quickly. But if I didn't, I only hurt myself. Now, if I miss a deadline or my work is subpar, I'm hurting the wonderful editor who took a chance on me, the marketing and sales staff, my agent who has to break the news ... It's not the deadline, per se, but the emotional implications of missing it!<br /><br />Don't get me wrong, being published is great. But scary. ;)Publiushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05803569911029840473noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6179378910381799110.post-2741441565095713552010-06-11T00:56:30.261-07:002010-06-11T00:56:30.261-07:00Hi, Angi!

I'm wondering about the PR aspect as well. I work full time, so balancing all this is going to be a challenge.
