I've known since last summer I was being published and I think I've blogged about it maybe 4-5 times since then.<BR/><BR/>My conscience won't allow me to become a self-promotional machine. But that doesn't mean my efforts may not come across that way to others.<BR/><BR/>I will be blogging, Facebooking, and Twittering about the book, because:<BR/>a) it's a milestone for me and it seems to weird to be able to talk about all kinds of personal things and work but not my book<BR/>b) my publisher and agent expect me to advertise and promote<BR/>c) the success of this book (my first) largely determines how likely I am to get a 2nd book published<BR/>d) I would like to support my family.<BR/><BR/>Again, I don't intend to go overboard. I have seen people who talk about nothing other than their book, and it is annoying and off-putting.<BR/><BR/>Let me know if I'm getting gross, okay? :-)<BR/>---<BR/><BR/>Chanda:<BR/>Thanks!<BR/><BR/>Will you buy 2 copies to offset David's -1 so that I can self-promote? :-)Jaredhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07454966527986478217noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-538825134834187144.post-56342654111012642772009-01-15T11:09:00.000-05:002009-01-15T11:09:00.000-05:00I AM SO THRILLED FOR YOU!
