As long as you make sure writing is always your first priority then I don't think you can go far wrong.LK Wattshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09366991733427612418noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1110107012766586348.post-63093514876791358072013-03-30T19:54:46.974-07:002013-03-30T19:54:46.974-07:00You're absolutely right.

Promotion necessarily takes time and focus away from writing and I truly enjoy writing. Short of finding a literary agent to handle the promotion (a challenging task for a new author), the best solution I have been able to come up with is to spend 4 to 5 hours writing new material and 3 to 4 hours promoting on a daily basis, using the weekends to recharge my creative battery. If any of you know an easier method I would love to hear it.<br /><br />William Inman<br />Author "The Wolf's Lair Conspiracy"<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07125025871580619935noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1110107012766586348.post-75830169408676444232013-03-27T07:33:16.955-07:002013-03-27T07:33:16.955-07:00Thanks Peter - I could really do with the extra sa...Thanks Peter - I could really do with the extra sales right now! ;)<br /><br />Grassroots - Thanks for sharing your thoughts.LK Wattshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09366991733427612418noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1110107012766586348.post-4266933166307821512013-03-26T09:15:12.031-07:002013-03-26T09:15:12.031-07:00While I was wasting away, waiting for my newest bo...While I was wasting away, waiting for my newest book to surface, I got frustrated watching everyone else's book fly into publication while I still waited.<br /><br />When I got the word last October that my book was coming soon, I STUPIDLY contacted all friends and relatives to let them know. BIG MISTAKE!!! This will never happen with me again. Unless that 'puppy' is in my physical grasp, I will not promote my work.<br /><br />So I was not the only one waiting, all of my pool of acquaintances waited with me. Then friends and fans fell off. "AH, he doesn't have a book coming out", but I decided the first of March that my book was going to be out there, if I had to print and color the darn thing myself.<br /><br />Welcome, "Connect the Dots", and before the end of this week, my next book "Funny Business" will be out also. I'm thrilled and my readers will be too, finally!<br />Cheers, Dongrassroots08https://www.blogger.com/profile/03060014053986043056noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1110107012766586348.post-82424526201086823122013-03-17T05:45:11.960-07:002013-03-17T05:45:11.960-07:00I strongly believe that marketing is evolving with...I strongly believe that marketing is evolving with the many forms of social media now becoming popular with virtually everyone. Some people swear that they don't use them, but in the same breath will be putting a link on Linkedin or even in an email - which really I think was the original electronic social media platform (unless that is you as old as I and remember bulletin boards?) <br />Take yourself for example, every time I read your blog I am reminded that I really must get your books at some time as I like the way that you write so would probably like your books. I know that you are not 'pushing them', but the fact that you are a prolific writer is doing that for you - at least on our small part of Linkedin.
