The Fear of Failure

Pilgrim Edge is my first memoir. My first special hardback with color photos and my first Kickstarter crowdfunding campaign so I had a lot to learn. The book is very personal and I bear my soul about some dark times so that was terrifying in itself. This entire experience thrust me out of my comfort zone and into a new way of creating launching and connecting with readers. Not allowing enough time for everything. Setting unrealistic goals like expecting to make six figures on a first campaign. Overpromising and under delivering. Poor communication with backers about the status of rewards.
