So. It’s been a good week. Last Wednesday on my 26th birthday, I released my first book, Struggle Central: Quarter-Life Confessions of a Messed Up Christian. Sent it to every single one of my newsletter subscribers for free while it endures self-publishing processing en route to Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and other online retailers soon.
I have lots of thoughts on this big reveal of my soul, and I’ll try to check in next week with some of those.
In the meantime, I’ve been reaching out to some other blogs and getting the word out on Struggle Central. Here’s a few of those places!
1) Up first, Jon Stolpe’s “Stretched” blog! If you’ve read the book, this post actually picks up where I left off in the “Final Confession.” When I returned to California last fall, I struggled. Realized growth never really stops — even after the mountaintop. Check out my guest post on Jon’s blog, “Growing is Unending.”
2) Next, People of the Second Chance — one of my favorite online entities in all the universe. I love these guys! If you’re not live-tweeting (#POTSClive) on Tuesday nights at 10pm EST, you need to be. Always such uplifting conversation with fellow messed up people. Check out my second-ever guest post with POTSC, “From Retreat to Redemption.”
3) And finally, I did a brief Struggle Central interview with Revelife, my former interning stomping grounds! Such a fun interview, and it answers such illuminating questions like where that fish on the cover and even the title itself came from. You can read the entire Revelife interview here!
I hope you’ll check out each of these posts, and I’ll try to check in next week with some more substantive thoughts about this whole crazy publishing process!
Travel well.
Your interview didn’t answer my biggest question about the book- why is the “mark” on the cover the only word in gold color?? I know there’s a very deep and resonating reason and I want to find out what it is!!!
Alas, some secrets are just never meant to be revealed…
