Why I Got My Rights Back, Part 2: Burned Out

February 5, 2024February 12, 2024 ~ Erin Fulmer ~ 7 Comments

When I signed with City Owl Press, I had a dream of making a career for myself as a traditionally published author. After my botched second book release, I let that dream fade away. “City Owl Depressed” I had serious nerves before posting the first part of this story last week. Part of those nerves … Continue reading Why I Got My Rights Back, Part 2: Burned Out

Feeds Don’t Nourish Me: Social Media and Creativity

October 27, 2022October 26, 2022 ~ Erin Fulmer ~ 5 Comments

Social media is overrated for creators. There, I said it. Surprised to hear this from me? I am too, a bit.

What a long strange week it's been! My book launch for CAMBION'S LAW was a wild ride, though I'm starting to feel the comedown now (note to self: do NOT keep looking at my sales rank).
