How true. I am in the middle of producing our next book. Tormenting process really...The more I check my emails, the longer everything seems to take. This is the first book that we've done that is on somewhat of a schedule. I am trying to plan a book launch (or release party, if you will) for this book - so I really need to know when I will have the books - so that I can book the venue. The whole thing is just stressing me out. It got me thinking...why is it that when you have no expectations, deadlines, schedule - things tend to go off without a hitch. Yet, the minute you throw a date out there - it jinxes everything? In order to properly plan for a book release - I firmly believe it would be immensely helpful to already have the books. Yes...months ahead. Let them sit in your warehouse collecting dust - but at least you know that you have them all ready to go when you need them. It takes the stress right out of it! Publicists, agents, etc. might disagree with me on this...but, feeling the stress that I am right here today - that's my solution for next time around!
