One thing I always encourage my new authors to do is to get their book frame and hang it somewhere very visible. Writing and publishing a book is a big deal, it needs to be celebrated. I give my framer a copy of the book I want framed, he cuts the cover off (so yes, we sacrifice one) and then frames it beautifully.
I’ve got every single book of mine framed and I hang them proudly to remind that I’ve done something very hard that very few people actually do. Celebrate your authorship!
