Remember that Saturday Night Live skit with Rob Morrow, where he's sitting with some friends, and always seems to lag five subjects behind the conversation? Here's the clip:
Anyway, when it comes to digital media and marketing, I feel like Rob Morrow as he enters the bathroom: on the verge of an entire new world of possibilities!
Like many writers who struggle to fit writing into an already overflowing schedule (day job, family, keeping the fridge stocked and the bills paid), I need to prioritize how to spend my time. Do I work on my next book or market the ones that are already out? Do I tweet, post on Facebook, or blog? And how about promotion? So many services! Blink, and a new one pops up. Which are worth the investment of time and money?
I don't know what the right mix is, and would be happy to hear from more experienced writers about their thoughts.
In the meantime, I'll continue to fly by the seat of my pants. Always a little behind. Always trying to catch up. Bear with me, and I promise to eventually get it right!
Today, I'm trying something new. Sample Sunday - where a writer puts up a sample of her latest work for readers to enjoy. It's Sunday night (actually, 1:28 am Monday morning--do you sense a theme here?), and this excerpt is from
This Time for Keeps (
Doctors of Rittenhouse Square, Book 3). Each book in this series can be read as a stand-alone, though some characters do overlap.
And now, without further ado...
(Doctors of
Rittenhouse Square, Book 3)
By
Jill Blake
A
random act of violence...
When a senseless act of
violence shatters her perfect world, Dr. Isabelle DiStefano struggles to
rebuild:
new life, new job, new man.
A second chance at love...
But sometimes the past can
be hard to let go of, especially when old flame Luca Santoro reappears in her
life and decides he wants to start over
...this time, for keeps.
