Hustling my writing is part of the fun.  It is the arrogant writer who believes that readers should come to him/her, and the creative artist who believes they should make an art of everything.  That includes advertising, or the act of reaching out to the audience.

  1. I don’t know about arrogant, but some of us want to get a body of work out there first and worry about generating a buzz later. It doesn’t take much to get the word out.

  3. My problem was getting over the fear that nobody gets it. Through post like yours, I now see that it doesn’t matter how many follow, but that the right ones get the message. #NOTHINGMatters

  5. I think you do a nice job of marketing your book. And you always express such sincere gratitude when someone buys one of your books. It’s really a cool thing to do!

  6. If you don’t get out there and let people know you’re there, nobody else will!

    I agree with you, sometimes I brave to step back and remember that I need to reach out, not the other way around. I am not earth shattering, lol (although I think my work is cool, at least)

    1. All work is cool! Just a matter of editing to bring out the coolness! Good luck!

    Positive approach. If you are having fun ‘Keep on keepin’ on’- I like your adverts…for some reason they remind me of the best of the old 1950s/1960s MAD mags (said in a complementary way)
