Thursday Thoughts: Five Years

By Leon Stevens on August 1, 2024

If you told me five years ago that in five years I would have seven published books to my name, I would have scoffed and said, "Sure, whatever Nostradamus. And the whole world will shut down for a couple of years..."

If you told me five years ago the book marketing is an uphill battle I would have said, "So? What does that have to do with me?" and then I would have said, "Besides, all you have to do is post something on the internet and millions of people see it and 'Boom' you're going viral..."

If you would have told me five years ago—

Okay, nobody really knows what the future holds. But we do our best to map out our life's journey, hoping for the best, hoping everything will at least be comfortable, and planning for possible setbacks and unforeseen circumstances.

So, here I am. My latest book is officially released today and I am about one third through writing the prequel, deciding what adventures my characters will experience in the third book, and—

Posting stuff on the internet which automatically goes viral?

Yeah...
