Blessed & Curvy

Welcome Author Tracee Lydia Garner Have you always wanted to be an author?   I had no idea stories were in me at all. The start of my journey starts with depression, flunking out of school, specifically community college math for liberal arts and an awful English teacher I did not like at all. In my college days, I just wasn't convinced I was going to make it and I remember one late night surfing on the computer, feeling down and I asked God for "something else". I wasn’t very specific but I was crying and just calling out to him to help me improve my grades or give me a good job without a degree. He delivered as He always does. I saw a contest hosted by a large publishing house and my dramatic crying and tears actually dried up as I tried to read the details about entering it.

Thanks for following the Don’t ROCK Fear Blog Tour.   I would like to thank Patricia for letting me share with you today. Today’s Promotion Fear – My Books Aren’t Selling Like Hers This fear will stop you in your tracks quickly.   You haven’t made the best seller’s list like another author.   She’s on Facebook talking about all her new readers.   She’s signing at all the hottest conferences. You want to crawl in a hole and never come out.   Don’t do it. You are not her and your book isn’t hers either.   Each writer has their own path.   If you stay worried about someone else’s path, you will miss out all the good things happening on your own path. No your book might not have made the best selling list, but that doesn’t mean it can’t.   You might have to work a little harder with your promotion. You don’t have a mailing list of 5000 readers.   That’s ok your 100 is a great start and will grow as more readers...

The Clock Is Winding Down As I age I think more about death                  Don't ask me why but I take the time to reflect on life especially around my birthday Questions I ponder: Have I done everything on my bucket list? Is there goals that I can scratch off my list that I have accomplished? Did I say I love you to those I care about? Has my work been all in vain? Reading the obituaries that flash across social media death doesn't come to those who are old. There are those who leave here because of natural causes of death, accidents, and illnesses. Infants, children men and women are leaving their earthly home everyday. Nothing is promised.  I know that my parents have been gone for a period of time but I still grieve them The question that I ask  is who will shed a tear for me? As I take my annual physical examination the doctor explained to me that my body is...
