The book launch was a great success. Nina Munteanu gave a brief talk about the Hero’s Journey. For me, that is the most seminal concept for my writing. When she first introduced me to it, I realised that one of the reasons it resonates with me is that we are ALL living the hero’s journey.
I then read a passage from the book. That was a challenge. Sarah F W had chosen which passage so, being dutiful, that is the one I read. Except that I had forgotten all about having to do the reading. As a result, I hadn’t practiced. I did get more confident as I read. Sarah streamed it live on Facebook and a couple who came late were listening to it as the arrived. Technology is a wonderful thing.
Now that the book is officially launched, the hard part starts. Marketing is not an easy thing and it takes time, lots of time. But no matter how good your book is, without it no one will know and all that writing, editing, and launching does you no good without it. So now I am on to the next part of the journey to being a writer – letting the world know that Beast Master is out there and should be read!
