I've found that self-promotion and marketing has been one of the more difficult things I've had to do (especially when all I really want to be doing is writing). <br /><br />I have close to 300 "friends" on Facebook, and I feel like I've been pretty particular about the majority of them, only really accepting requests from people I feel are (or would be had we kept in touch all these years) friends in real life, but I was shocked when I simply asked them if they would share a sale for my book on their profile page and maybe only ten percent of them actually did it. <br /><br />But still we continue on. Because as writers, we don't have a choice. <br /><br />Paul D.

Also goodreads and bookblogs.ning.com are great. You can also submit to places like business2blogger and the like. You can also just email book bloggers direct yourself and ask for reviews. Hope that helps :)Jessica ( frellathon )https://www.blogger.com/profile/08866967000173331227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1218037880188192344.post-56875229177237291702011-09-23T09:45:04.893-07:002011-09-23T09:45:04.893-07:00It's very difficult to get people to respond t...It's very difficult to get people to respond to your work. My mother reads four novels a week and, so far, has refused to read any of my work. Is it possible for you to post a few pages of your story? I for one would love to learn more about it. This is a difficult path we're all on as writers. Pace yourself--this is a marathon not a sprint.

When I'm really awake, I'm gonna search this down and see what's the problem.<br /><br />About friends, family and people responding, don't worry they will come around soon. Be patient, but keep putting your blog and facebook addresses before them.<br /><br />I still don't understand facebook and they've changed it again. Man! I only get involved with issues I want to be a part of on the "news page." Sooo much unnecessary stuff, not worth your time. So, I keep to my personal facebook page most of the time.<br /><br />Who is the guy in the picture? Is he part of your Moonstone?<br /><br />The best, Minnie Estelle MillerAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
