I have to stick to one at a time for focus, but perhaps having three on the go let's you clear your mind of one for a while, as you work on the others.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03300464291611313103noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-370625374094708767.post-29692176084834475212013-04-12T10:45:20.584-07:002013-04-12T10:45:20.584-07:00Great interview.

I'd like to add ...<br /><br />Any time I hear a writer holding off on sharing their gifts because they're waiting for an agent or publisher it makes me a little sad. The world is changing in such a way that the traditional gatekeepers are no longer in charge of what gets out into the world and what doesn't. It's just a matter of our willingness to engage the new systems and technology to share our love.<br /><br />Which is why I'm so happy to see Betty's comment - congratulations, Betty!! :)<br /><br /> Jeannettehttp://goodvibeblog.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-370625374094708767.post-5335818332791328052013-04-08T10:50:44.436-07:002013-04-08T10:50:44.436-07:00Did you try to get an agent first or skip the whol...Did you try to get an agent first or skip the whole heart-breaking process altogether? I think self-publishing is great, the more I learn about it, the more I support it. Authors finally have the ability to take charge of their own career. I'm almost ready to take the plunge. :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03300464291611313103noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-370625374094708767.post-57557708608672046992013-04-08T10:49:35.809-07:002013-04-08T10:49:35.809-07:00I'm glad you think it's helpful.

I started these interviews in hopes of helping self-published authors promote themselves and offer the rest of us some tips. :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03300464291611313103noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-370625374094708767.post-90424603333531370682013-04-08T10:26:38.596-07:002013-04-08T10:26:38.596-07:00I have self-published my first book!
