Yep, it's time consuming for sure. But I love it. It's so much fun interacting with with everyone, meeting people, and networking. <br /><br />But, you're right about the time issue. If you're not careful, writing will take a sidestep for sure. <br /><br />Good points here.

She brought along a PR specialist for our consideration in enhancing my image and salability.<br /><br />We shot around a lot of bull, sure, and we all conspired what I could do to network and get people to remember my name. However, the PR specialist was sober when it came to my public image:<br /><br />"Michael, we can't do anything until you get a book deal."<br /><br />So, while I have my current agent shopping my novels around, looking for the ever-elusive book deal, I have not only engaged in Twittering and FaceBooking and blogging, but I also hit the markets hard with shorter works. I have been successful getting several published.<br /><br />So, one of the key factors for a writer to build a platform is to steadily build up publishing credits, even while the first book contract has yet to come. Only then will your fame skyrocket.M Cid D'Angelohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07075559761690250899noreply@blogger.com
