How do other writers do it!!??
Lately I've noticed that I spend more time promoting my writing than writing, and I hate that!!
But...
If I don't tweet, face book and do this blog, how do I get a readership? My books are at the bottom of the indie pile on Amazon and Barnes and Noble because of their self-defeating algorithms.
I get it. They are for-profit company and will make far more money promoting Stephen King's latest books than giving me 'shelf space' for mine.
So I'm tweeting and pimping my books an hour a day just to get a few book sells a week. I could be writing more books and getting them out there, but it seems counter intuitive to NOT promote as much as possible.
I know this is not a new problem and that all new writers have this dilemma. I've vacillated back and forth a dozen times: promote more, write less or just write and forget about the promotion.
Sigh.
So. I'm going to try the 'write more' for a while and try to just enjoy writing for the summer.
Thanks for listening. If you have ideas, let me know.
