Six Days Post Release and Still Not Famous!

I have to admit, when I decided to write and self-publish, I had this fantasy that I would release my book and it would instantly become a best seller.  Alright, maybe not instantly.  I was willing to wait two or three days.

I was fully prepared to ignore the marketing part.  Turns out, it doesn’t work that way.  If you don’t market, you don’t sell.  Unfortunate, because I’m excellent at ignoring things I don’t want to do.  I’ve spent the better part of the week marketing my first book and it still isn’t a best seller.  Clearly, there is some kind of conspiracy against me.

I’ve never been one of those “Look at me!  Look at me!” type of girls, so demanding random people not only be aware of my accomplishment, but also spend their hard-earned money on it, goes against my natural tendencies.

Alas, there is a small part of me that is fiendishly enjoying all this self-promotion.  Let’s just hope I can keep my ego in check.  At least until I really do become a world-famous author with legions of adoring fans, that is.

Good night and happy reading.
