Feeling Stuck With Self-Publishing - Oshitbritt

It's getting to the time where I will be self-publishing my next book, Stars Melt to Milk. I'm feeling a little stuck with the whole process.

This is how I’m feeling right now about Stars Melt to Milk. But it’s going to change. Time to get on top of things!

How My Book Changed As I Grew Up - Oshitbritt

In the two years I spent writing this book, so much changed. I learned and grew. With that, my novel changed. This might be one of the biggest reasons I’ve gone through so many revisions. Each draft is a representation of the person I was at the time that I wrote it. And with the pace that people grow up during their late teens and early twenties, each draft is drastically different.It’s hard for me to come to a place where I decide, “This is exactly what I want to say.” Because each day I learn something that I didn’t understand before. And then I want to go back and adjust my novel to reflect my world view. After I publish this book, I might come back a year later and think, “Wow, was I naive?”When I first started writing Stars Melt to Milk, I was nineteen-years-old. Between then and now, I've become an entirely different person.

"I've spent so much time trying to get away from that life in New York. That city had my mother standing on every street corner. I swear it didn't matter if I knew my mom was across town, I'd see her and her vacant face everywhere."

Janis thinks about her past in New York City.

"My car stands its ground in the driveway, gathering white Dogwood blossoms on its roof from the neighbor's tree. Sephie runs to the car and leans her side up against it. The blue of the car matches the blue in her excited eyes."

Charlie and his car.

"But the tighter I held her, the further I felt from her. And sometimes I'd cry with her too. She thought I was lamenting the pain of the world, like she was. But, really, I was yearning for a mother who'd want to be with me more times than only in her weakest hours of the night."

- Brittany Touris, Stars Melt to Milk

Janis thinks back on her past.
