For many businesses,
the holiday season
is when the bulk of the sales happen.
In the romance writing industry,
December is the big month
for print sales.
January is the big month
for eBook sales.
These two months
can make a writer’s year financially.
This means
we work.
We work
while others are attending
holiday parties,
baking cookies,
shopping,
watching blockbuster movies.
Because this is when
many businesses
will break out.
Because this cash influx
will allow us
to achieve grander goals
in 2015.
Because customers
want to discover us,
want to buy our products.
We’re making their holidays
and their worlds
better.
What we do right now
counts.
It is worth the effort
and the sacrifice.
Let’s push it.
