The Marketing Blues

As a writer, I am probably like most other self-publishers, in that marketing isn’t my thing. It doesn’t feel natural like writing does. Today is the last of my free promo days for a while and I have a sense of relief and some dread because that is when I have to get even more creative with ideas to get books out there. With the millions of new books out every year, it isn’t enough to have a great novel anymore. You have to find new ways to stand out and make yourself visible- but isn’t that why we write- to have our ideas out there to express our ideas for us?
