When it comes to writing, there's really no substitue for Bum on Chair Time and getting those words down on paper. However, as an author, you are also a one-person small business, responsible for multiple aspects of your career. Including promo, which is truly time-consuming.

Topics Mentioning This Author

“I wish I were a girl again, half-savage and hardy, and free.”
Emily Brontë, Wuthering Heights

“What's terrible is to pretend that second-rate is first-rate. To pretend that you don't need love when you do; or you like your work when you know quite well you're capable of better.”
Doris Lessing, The Golden Notebook

“If you are not in the arena getting your ass kicked on occasion, I am not interested in or open to your feedback. There are a million cheap seats in the world today filled with people who will never be brave with their own lives, but will spend every ounce of energy they have hurling advice and judgement at those of us trying to dare greatly. Their only contributions are criticism, cynicism, and fear-mongering. If you're criticizing from a place where you're not also putting yourself on the line, I'm not interested in your feedback.”
Brené Brown

Same to you, Noreen. I'm hoping to clear my desk of chores and spend some quality time on the second novel over Christmas.
