I have the patience part down pat, and I'll remember to self-promote as soon as I'm published.<br />Best wishes for your continued success.Josiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05930730661273079224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-588376429247025873.post-59957332627492187872011-07-13T23:11:48.983-04:002011-07-13T23:11:48.983-04:00I am unpublished but have been blogging for severa...I am unpublished but have been blogging for several years now with my pen name. I enjoy this part as I have met so many who have experience in this exciting world of writing. Besides, I have made lots of friends and have absorbed information for when my time comes to promote my first book. Best of luck with your new adventure.Paisley Kirkpatrickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06401039126457210324noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-588376429247025873.post-79422284949426278192011-07-13T22:31:10.041-04:002011-07-13T22:31:10.041-04:00I keep asking myself the same thing. My debut book...I keep asking myself the same thing. My debut book's official release is in two days. I've done what I could to get my name out there since ultimately I'm selling myself. I'm on facebook, twitter, linked-in, and yahoo loops. I blog on my site, plus here and another spot. Will all that help? Who knows. Mercy, I wish I did. We're flying blind here with spotty radar reception. Only time will tell. Those who know more than I say you don't begin to build name recognition until your third book. Perhaps so. My fear is if I don't have a fair amount of sales with the first one, I'll be dead in the water with zero chances of a second or third book. So, I do what I can for hours everyday...hours that I'd sooner be writing or mentoring another writer.Vonnie Davis ~ Romance Authorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07360480832587538895noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-588376429247025873.post-83882843669455083212011-07-13T22:26:20.162-04:002011-07-13T22:26:20.162-04:00I had a launch party even with just an eBook.

Way more than enough for this wallflower.Jill Jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10754506629717417267noreply@blogger.com
