I’m in a strange season of waiting. Waiting for the business things to take shape. Waiting for the new checking account to clear. Waiting for everything I thought I had lined up to catch up to me. And here’s what I’ve realized during all this waiting: I’m not a procrastinator. In fact, I feel incredibly uncomfortable when I’m forced to slow down because of logistics - especially when I’ve done my part, and the rest is out of my control. It’s uncomfortable. It’s disorienting. 

I’ve said this before, and I’ll say it again:

This is not a solo journey.

Yes, the writing often happens in silence. In stolen hours. In notebooks and notes apps and long, stretched moments between everyday life. But the truth is—I’m never really alone in this.

Because you’re here.

And that? That changes everything.

When I first stepped into the publishing world, I knew writing a book would take heart. What I didn’t expect? How much placement, keywords, and reviews would matter in actually getting that book into the hands of readers like you.

So today, I want to pull back the curtain and share something that might surprise you - especially if you’re a reader who believes your review is “just one review.”

Spoiler: it’s not. Not even close.
