Hi Elaine, many thanks for your comment. It is all a bit overwhelming at the moment and getting the right balance is tricky so I appreciate your wise words. I have found the support of the indie world on twitter particularly to be amazing. I have never received this sort of support in my ‘other’ working life and am really enjoying it! Many thanks for taking the time and I look forward to connecting further.

Like you I was never a fan of social media. However, I have met some wonderful new friends through twitter and learnt so many things. Use social media as little or as often as you wish and use it how you want. I used to feel guilty if I abandoned twitter for a while when editing, but no more. You are right to lock yourself away to edit!

I hope you find a good rhythm with Before the Dawn. On the marketing side, start small and begin with things you are comfortable with. I’m sure you’ll find your way. xx

Thanks Diane – I don’t think I do half as much as I should e.g. I have still got your post on how to get your book into a library but haven’t done anything further with it as yet. A little bit everyday is about all I can manage!

It really is a long hard slog for Indies isn’t it? Keep persevering and I wish you all the luck in the world. 🙂

Hi Wendy, well I hope your editing is going better than mine! Very slow – probably because I’m trying to do this social stuff as well. I have a freebie offer on my book coming up so am trying to build things up but something has to give. I look forward to hearing all about the new book once you get that far. Regarding Facebook I just find it very strange with what pops up and I’m never really sure what people looking at my site will see – still I will persevere! The writers group is going well thanks. I did enter something for the flash fiction but the level of writing there is high so I have no expectations. Hope you get to the end of your editing soon and onto the next stage! Onwards and upwards!

As someone once said to me, just when you think you’re getting the hang of it, they change something! I find I do things and it does something I don’t expect it to. Or doesn’t do something I DO expect it to!
My social networking has been a bit thin lately. I’ve been head-down novel editing, like you. I kept thinking of little phrases to post on Twitter (such as, Just as I think I’m getting to the end of the tunnel, someone turns off the light!) but they never got further than inside my head.
Anyway, hopefully there really IS a light of the end of the tunnel now and I’ll soon be able to lift my head. Good luck with everything. Hope the writers group is going well.
