I need to learn all I can. That hasn't changed and never will. :-) Marketing is the part of writing I don't like, but not because of the actual work of it – only because of the time it takes away from my writing. I hear a lot of complaints about that, but it's the nature of the beast nowadays.<br />Deb@ http://debioneille.blogspot.comdebi o'neillehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00326849099713939434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-149224757183756660.post-40393575547420269382014-04-26T11:01:45.942-07:002014-04-26T11:01:45.942-07:00Spacer -- If it had been a race you'd be the w...Spacer -- If it had been a race you'd be the winner.<br /><br />Alex -- That's a big part of what learning is all about.<br /><br />Trisha -- I agree. I've found so much great info on writer blogs.<br /><br />Robin -- If something's not working we need to be ready to reevaluate.<br /><br />C.Lee -- Answers can only come about from questioning.<br /><br />Yvonne - You're certainly not an idiot. And your book has just been released so I think you need to give it some time and keep trying different things. I still believe you can find distribution for your book. All is not lost.<br /><br />Jo -- You're right about the differences, but still I think there is much to be learned from the successes and failures of others when we put it in perspective to ourselves, our products, and our circumstances. What works for one party might not be our style. We have to look inward as well as outward.<br /><br />Rob -- I wonder why you do that? Come to think of it I wonder about a lot of things too. We must be wonderful guys, eh? <br /><br />Lee<br />Arlee Birdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11663942782929929334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-149224757183756660.post-63252315929410815692014-04-26T10:28:27.699-07:002014-04-26T10:28:27.699-07:00I spend a lot of time wondering these days. . . . ...I spend a lot of time wondering these days. . . . .
