Let’s see, I have
been reading a lot of information out there about blogs and ‘How yours can succeed,’
and have noted that I seem to be ignoring all their advice, which isn’t good. I’m
wondering how people do it without life getting in the way, really people; help
me out on this one. Somehow I don’t think work would let me reduce my hours
just so I can keep up on top of this or
all the other marketing that’s needed to get your book noticed by more than
family and friends.
The thing is it’s
all about marketing, you wouldn’t believe what I have on my Amazon wish list
for goodie bags. I think that somewhere down the line you actually have to
write a book and let someone take charge of your baby but even with their help
you are still expected to get out there. Don’t people become writers so they can
barricade themselves in their homes, never to see the light of day again? Well
they may pop out for the odd book signing though you can do that via Kindle
nowadays.
So I need to be
honest, I did set up this blog to get noticed but I don’t want to sit here and
do a weekly rant, though I’m doing a good job right now. I want to be able to
help, if I can, with those in the same position as me or maybe you are just
setting out and thinking about writing and want some advise. Maybe you are a
reader rather than a writer and therefore reviews and trailers are more your
style?
Seeing as though
I have to get back to the daily grind of coffee and cake, no scratch that, what
am I saying, I mean writing of course, I will leave you with two books that
have been a great help to me recently.
250 Things you should know about writing didn’t exactly tell
me anything I didn’t already know, but it is a great moral boost, that really
helped me.
I had to include a blog book and out of all the information
floating around out there, I found this very useful.
Enjoy!
