The Importance of Following Your Heart | CHASING MY DREAM VLOG Venturesome Dreamer Podcast
-
- Arts
After dealing with overwhelming stress and anxiety, I decided to quit querying. I made this decision because though I've gotten comments from literary agents that have stated my writing is strong and my story is exciting, they're still not willing to take a chance on my book — which is bold, long, ambitious, and different from others in the market.
So, instead of querying, I came up with two ways to build an audience and anticipation for my book which was inspired by E.L. James' journey in publishing Fifty Shades of Grey. One plan involves writing, which I won't share for some time, but the other involves this vlog. Chasing My Dream will follow my journey in publishing my book, Void. I'll share how I deal with anxiety as an author, the problem I have with the publishing industry, and so much more.
The aim of these vlogs, besides helping me better understand my thoughts and emotions throughout my writing journey, is to hopefully help out other authors who are in the same boat as I am.
Do you feel like you have an amazing story?
Do you feel like it'll have a profound impact on people?
And are literary agents and publishers not willing to take a chance on your book?
Then join me on my journey and recognize that our path will not be easy. We're straying from the main road and are forging our own. Such a choice means we will struggle more than others, cry more than others, and bleed more than others.
But such a choice means that we will also thrive more. And laugh more. And love more.
So, don't be afraid, my friends.
Follow your heart.
Chase your dream.
And be met with a success you could have never imagined.
