Hello all, I hope your
holidays were fabulous and that the New Year brings you the fulfillment of all your
dreams and desires. But today is the day for insecurities, and while they seem
to come and go in regular cycles, it's
now time for new beginnings.
C. Hope Clark said in her most
recent newsletter that her New Year's Resolution is "to write more this
year."
She then followed that up
with, " . . . maybe it's time we
quit thinking of crazy ways to sell 99 cent books and instead slow down and
write great stuff!"
Now that is a worthy goal, to write great stuff – and I wanted to make
that my ultimate goal too. But I do have another book coming out this year,
which tempers that resolution because selling that book is also a goal.
The necessary evil – marketing
– that dreadful task that depletes writing time. A book signing that requires
swag, table fees, transportation, and time – with the result being maybe 8 to
10 books sold. Is all that time and expense worth it?
Daily online socializing – how
much is too much?
How about you – is your plan
to sell more or write great stuff? Is
it possible to do both, or are the two diametrically
opposed?
Be sure to visit Alex's Blog today, the winners of the IWSG Anthology Contest will be announced.
