Fans of Dr. Seuss know very well the infamous Waiting Place described in his classic children’s book, Oh, the Places You’ll Go. It’s the state of mind we all get stuck in at some point in our lives—a time of “in between,” where we think we want to move in one direction, but we’re not sure, so we wait for something to happen, or for things to stop happening, before we move.

But as a soon-to-be-published author, I know it’s important to let your readers know you’re out there.
