It's been a few weeks and the sales numbers have doubled! That's right, I've sold TWO books. My friend, Chris, bought a copy with a promise to write a review. Now I'm really hoping he likes it.
All kidding aside, now is the time to focus on two things: 1 - Marketing and 2 - writing the next book. Part two is both fun and easy. After all, I've done it before. However, the first thing is not particularly fun and it's not something I know how to do. Yet, it's something I must learn. I've been reading articles and anything else I can get my hands on in an effort to become educated. The problem is that there are as many ideas as there are authors. And the ideas that work for a cookbook may not apply to a fantasy adventure for young readers. What I'm looking for is basic principles that apply across the board. It's taking time to glean them, but they're there.
Then comes the hard part. Doing it.
