Patience is a virtue?

My Webster dictionary defines a virtue as - general moral excellence. Well maybe having good morals is enough and I don't need to pressure myself to strive for excellence?

I talk about patience, as I seem to need to continually work on it in my life. I must be striving to work on patience very hard, as even more of it is needed living in Mexico. I also am finding a need for it now, as I work on getting my book self- published.

I started just over a month ago to put all the pieces together to get my book, that is on my adventures of living in Mexico, self- published.

The update? Well, the website is about finished and waiting for the book and its cover. The book has been edited and is currently being layed out as an e-book. The cover just needs a few minor changes before I can put it on the site and use it for my business cards. The cartooning for inside the book is in process ( I should have gotten someone on that sooner). My internet marketing school has been going well and I have several good marketing pieces ( I think) already created. Once the book is on my website, I then need to get it in paperback form. Once I am done all this, I will be virtually an expert on book self publishing! Yes, right.

However, I find I am growing anxious and excited. I am not totally ready marketing wise for the book to be done; but I really want it all finished now! Did I say now?!?

What I need to concentrate on is: I am on my way to having it finished and I work on it every day. Every day I do; not just one thing, but several things toward my goal. It will soon be ready for sale.

Yep, patience is a virtue.

P.S. That e-book is still coming soon!
