I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed. I don't have enough time. Don't laugh. I'm like the one person in the world with all the time in the world. I have few obligations, I have no responsibilities, and I have the same twenty four hours everybody with a job has but they still manage to out do me. Here's what I'm feeling a bit whelmed by.The book is coming out in two months. If I want to do this right, publicity needs to be kicked in. I'm not entirely sure what that involves but I know I need to concentrate all my energy on it. Build a website, social network, think up fun contests and events. Do the dew. All these things need to happen in order to have a successful launch. I should be doing all the motivation and push for the publicity, instead of having my wonderful agent people prod me. I don't want to be that donkey. I'm gonna try not to be that donkey. There's a few more writing related things I need to get on, which include trying to jump into the YA blogosphere, doing a book proposal, writing some stuff in general, and maybe taking a class.
And suddenly I'm panicking about the amount of time I'll have up here. I mean, two to three months isn't that long. A month here and I haven't even seen or hung out with half the people I really wanted to hang out with. Heck, I haven't even gotten that much quality time in with certain people period. How am I going to make new friends when I can't even manage old friends?
I'm also a tad worried about finding a job, even though I haven't started looking yet. I'll leave that worry behind actually. Money makes the world go round but I'm not gonna worry about it.
Actually I guess I just feel rushed all the time. I don't have much to do every day but somehow they fill up really quick. One event a day demands so much forethought about how to get there, when to eat, what I need to prep. And that doesn't even include the mundane things I've yet to do. Like laundry. Like buying things to put in my mini-fridge. Like taking long walks and exploring my neighborhood.
Wait, did I just spend this post complaining? Shit. I don't have anything to complain about. I just need to refocus and finish at least a few things on this list.
