Day 9

 

I think Day 9 has been the most relevant to what I needed to hear. There are no big accomplishments, only big results of multiple small accomplishments. It makes all the little "bullcrap" I have to do every day seem not quite as unimportant.

Promoting this book is an unimaginable horror. The book itself is a horror novel--the plot pales by comparison to promoting the sucker! I think a goal I could realistically achieve would be contacting one radio station or reviewer a day to attempt to promote it. I avoided papering my walls with rejection slips by publishing on demand because major publishers these days won't touch an unknown. Guess I get to have rejection slips anyway. Ah well, joke 'em if they can't take a f**k.

Hey, I'm on day #9 too!

I'm on my second go around but like you on day 9 and I loved it too. 

 

You cannot get published by sending to a book publisher....they only take works recommended by literary agents.  There is a list of literary agents in the local library....try that route instead, you may have better luck. 

 

If that fails, Susanthecat self published a book online and it's an amazing site...ask her about it.

the book

Hi Sue,

Ugh--I need to learn to be more clear. Sometimes my mush mouth translates into my writing. The book IS already published. It's promoting it that's the bugaboo. No money for an advertising/promotion budget and I don't know sh*t about promoting, writing press releases, or any of that crap--I write fiction. So the PROMOTION is a bigger nightmare than anything involved in the plot of the book, which is a horror novel. That's what I was trying to say!
