Day 3320 – Seeing John Williams Live – or – Major Bucket List Item Done

After months of planning and thinking about it – I have seen John Williams, live and in person. I can now say that I have heard the Star Wars theme song played by its composer. That is a really awesome thing to say. I can’t wait to print out the pictures as a reminder that you can set a goal and make it happen.

It was a whirlwind trip, for sure, and I’ll write more about all the specifics later, but for today, let me share about the concert itself.

We arrive a bit later than we planned because we made a number of stops and got caught in really bad traffic. But we still found a decent spot, after moving a few times.

I loved the layout of this venue. The inside was really neat and open, and the grounds were huge. The photo above doesn’t do the distance justice. We were maybe in the front 20% of the lawn.

Oh man, it was a rainy night! We had ponchos and they really helped to keep us dry, but at times it was almost torrential and you can’t really not get wet with only ponchos.

It was hard to get a good night photo, but I love how it looks like he’s a projection on the right screen.

All in all, it was a wonderful evening, and one that I will remember always. If you’re ever up in the Lenox area, try and catch a show at Tanglewood/Koussevitzky Music Shed.

Have you ever been?

Day 3310 – Three Months Ago, I Started Traveling Jen Finding Zen

I can’t believe it’s been three months since I decided to jump in on a new business idea, a blog to encourage folks that road trip travel is so much more accessible than they realize. I’ve definitely had moments of “what the heck am I doing? Why am I starting ANOTHER thing to take my attention???” But my why is that I have been so moved by road trip travel that I want to share it with others.

Road trip travel has become such a part of my life that it’s my new normal. My aim is to encourage others that it can be part of their normal too.

Day 2903 – Am I A Best Seller?

I check my Amazon stats every day or so. To see how many people have ordered using my Amazon link, and ordered one of my books. I really shouldn’t because I’m not getting serious traffic or money. Ha ha, but I still can’t help myself. Here’s a little known fact – it’s really easy to become a best seller on Amazon. I priced my book at $0.00 on Sunday, and shortly after, I was at #4 and #5 for two categories in the free lists. Yesterday, I was jumping around between 6 and 7 in a paid category.

To me, success in a book launch is just one more person making a change. I lucked out, and one of my reviewers had a change from reading the book, so the book was a success before it even launched. I will say, I am at the top if you search “Planning a road trip” on Amazon.

What do you think? What makes a book launch successful? What makes a person a best seller?
