It's Okay to Step Away: Why Indie Authors Need Breaks, Too
Being an indie author means wearing a lot of hats.
Actually, scratch that.
Being an indie author means wearing all the hats.
We're writers, editors, marketers, social media managers, graphic designers, event planners, newsletter creators, website managers, accountants, customer service representatives, and business owners—all while trying to keep the thing we love most alive: writing stories.
And when you're preparing to launch a book, those responsibilities multiply.
Suddenly, you're coordinating ARCs, posting on social media every day, updating your website, scheduling newsletters, reaching out to bookstores, planning launch events, managing ads, creating graphics, answering messages, and trying to convince yourself that you should probably be writing the next book, too.
It's exciting.
It's rewarding.
And sometimes?
It's exhausting.
