I hear other authors talk about what works for them and I find myself thinking, "Oh, I gotta try that!" Then I remember the plan I laid out for myself when I started on my author journey in 2023. If the new shiny thing doesn't fit the plan I created, I need to not pursue it. Maybe in the future, after I have mastered the 2 things I am working, I could consider adding something new and shiny. But for now, I have my 4-year plan and I am sticking to it!

Thank you for this email. You spelled a lot of things out, and gave an overview of a road map on how different things work together, how an author can actually build a system, and which services and tools can be used. I have been looking for something like this for a decade. Conversations around these things happen in author spaces, but the majority of those author spaces are in groups on Facebook, or in memberships, or at conferences, or in courses that cost a few grand. But you helped me with this email and you've made me really think about how I can move forward, and offered ways that are and aren't social media. I need things explained and examples given. You did that. So, again, thank you so much for this.

Fantastic. Can i translate part of this article into Spanish with links to you, a description of your newsletter and share with my audience?
