I promoted myself before I even built up any content to promote. I was working on growing my audience before you had anything to read. Things were going a bit backwards.
I was proud of myself for keeping up on this blog and updating it regularly. I felt great until I read one or two articles that pointed out how social media and blogs are a big distraction for modern aspiring writers. They pinned me like a tail on a donkey.
So I stopped. I think this is only my second post this month. I got on track with my book, and it is nearly complete. The final edit is underway and the novel will be finished soon.
I’m working on my marketing and release plan. Frostarc will most likely be broken down into three novellas. Right now the plan is to release them one at a time, each next one a few weeks apart from the previous, culminating with the release of the entire novel in one piece.
This blog will be back in action soon. I promise you.
But first and foremost I must work on my writing. On my book. When I have something to give you I will be back in full force to let you know.
Thank you for being patient with me.
This novel has been years in the making, and I don’t want to ruin it by rushing it out now that it is so close to being finished.
I’ll talk to you soon.
I agree, there are many distractions. I call them enemies. We as writers need to know who or what they are. I have blogged about this recently. Looking forward to hearing that your book has been published. All the best of luck with the launch.
