Ironically, the key to lasting inner peace is to STOP believing in yourself.
Well, I've quit my day job to promote Fading Toward Enlightenment full time. I figured since I've given my all to writing it, I should give my all to promoting it too. It was a tough decision, but the deciding factor was when I realized that 10 years from now, if I failed at this, I don't want to have any excuses like: "I was too busy working to sell the book properly."
I have made a possibly suicidal decision in my marketing plan for Fading Toward Enlightenment. I've decided to give away the equivalent of 25% of the profits on all books sold through my online website (FadingTowardEnlightenment.com). It may very well mean I'm going to be stuck working for the Man for a while longer, but this whole publishing project has made me too Solid and I need to loosen up a bit.
If all goes right, I should have copies of Fading Toward Enlightenment in my hands sometime in February. I have been working with Sandy Dolan at Health Communications Inc (the publishers of the Chicken Soup for the Soul series), and she has alleviated many of my concerns about the image quality of the photographs that are spread throughout the book. HCI is a bit more expensive than some of the other book manufacturers that I have been investigating, but Sandy's patience and assistance has been invaluable and that holds more weight with me than mere money.
