"Too much coffee man" cartoon by Shannon Wheeler of a woman looking into a doorway at a disheveled and distraught man writing. The man says, "You won't be laughing after I spend three years writing my novel, a year editing, another year finding an agent, two years pitching it, 14 months waiting for it to come out in print 9 months promoting it ... and I become famous."

Add six months to ten years to each of those mentioned times. Didn't become famous . . . yet. #booksky #writingcommunity #authorlife #depressionhatesamovingtarget #adailydoseofnow #booksaboutmentalhealthrecovery

Screenshot from Anne Van Buskirk's feed, one of Nita Sweeney's readers, sharing her holiday celebration and featuring Nita's book, A Daily Dose of Now. One photo also shows an adorable little girl helping Anne make cookies.

Awww. Just stumbled on this set of photos. I LOVE it when readers send photos of them with my books. Isn't that little one adorable, too? THANK YOU ANNE! #booksky #writingcommunity #adailydoseofnow #booksboutmeditation #mindfulnessbooks #dailymeditationbooks

Still boycotting a certain online retailer? For books, Bookshop(dot)org is a fabulous alternative. You can find most of my books there. #indiebookstores #bookshop #writingcommunity #booksky #depressionhatesamovingtarget #makeeverymoveameditation #adailydoseofnow bookshop.org/beta-search?...

It depends. My first three books were traditionally published. The fourth I did using my small press. I hired a dev editor, copy editor, proofreader, cover designer, format designer, and formatter. It's quite the little sausage. ;-) #adailydoseofnow #writingcommunity #selfpublishing #tradpublishing

I never thought any of my books would be suitable as armour, but using mindfulness to stay sane makes sense given the world we face. Thank you so much @sybrinafair.bsky.social for sharing this! #booksky #adailydoseofNOW #614authors #writingcommunity #meditation #mindfulness #fightingfascism

Photo of two books and a coffee mug. Books are Hitler's First Hundred Days by Peter Fritzsche and A Daily Dose of Now by Nita Sweeney.

Got a delivery today from #GramercyBooks, my favorite indie bookstore. In anticipation of a new administration, I'm arming myself with #HitlersFirstHundredDays by Peter Fritzsche, #ADailyDoseOfNow by C-Bus's very own @nitasweeney.com, and a favorite beverage in a mug from a good friend. ♥️🤍💙

Copy of Nita Sweeney's book, A Daily Dose of Now, next to a white cat with a black spot on its ear and a black spot on its forearm. Cat is sitting on a blue mat.

A friend sent this to let me know my most recent book is kitty-approved! Pet-approval is the highest compliment. #booksky #adailydoseofnow
