Is it kosher to brag about reaching one’s ultimate goal? Who cares – I did it!! New York Times Best Seller #SummerFire

June 5, 2015 By Mimi Barbour 2 Comments

If you haven’t already heard – with me telling everyone on
Facebook and sending my news to all the groups I’m in – I want to share (brag)
with you my friends on my blog, Believe. (This blog name now seems to be reflective of my mind set.) 
The other night I learned something fantastic
and have been celebrating ever since. Just so you understand, to every author it would be equal to
finding a winning lotto ticket.
An anthology called Summer Fire, a collection of
twenty brand new novellas, with my story called Big Girls Don’t Cry being one of them, hit the New York Times list
at #13 this week.
Phew – just writing about it makes me smile so hard,
my face muscles get cramped. Guess I’ve been abusing them over the last 36
hours.
Truly, it’s like a dream. How could I, little Mimi
Barbour, reach this pinnacle in a career that I started so late in life? I
admit that I’ve worked harder than I ever have before. And trust me when I tell
you – I’ve never been sloucher! But this job as a writer, marketing fool, promoter,
editor, accountant, formatter, blogger, cover selector, social media pro,
promotions expert and did I mention writer, has been the most time-consuming,
intense abuse of every skill I ever possessed and many newly learned.
“Was
it difficult?”

“Damn rights it was.”
“Was
it worth it?”

“Damn rights it was.”
You might ask what’s next on the list. I mean – hitting the New
York Times is pretty well the pinnacle.
True…
Ahhh… But next time, I’d like it to make it alone –
just one of my books or an anthology of just me! Yeah…
Aha! Another goal to work for…. We need those,
right?

**Come
back for the next post and I’ll share some of the secrets we used to make sure
we were successful and hit both lists!!
