I am releasing my debut eBook at the end of the month, but I have been dedicated to getting published for many many years and learned all of this on my own Sadly, not many new writers do that and wind up being really disappointed. It's not all glamorous as certain popular authors make it look and it is hard work. <br /><br />Good luck with Diamonds & Dust! And congratulations on the nomination! :)Chrys Feyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11955009490266358041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2681775564258628407.post-22377463353946343342013-11-11T05:49:02.485-08:002013-11-11T05:49:02.485-08:00Thanks...Thanks...Carol Hedgeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10359578624109905400noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2681775564258628407.post-80803362151148777532013-11-11T05:35:45.388-08:002013-11-11T05:35:45.388-08:00Excellent post.

There are so many naive ideas floating around out there about what happens after you publish (and how glorious it all is). I've also had occasion to lose heart because of the comments of agents and editors. I bounced back, and I'm glad you have, too. Congratulations on the soon-to-be publication of your 12th book!

HAAAAAA!!!! This is a most interesting blog post, CJ. I know what book tours are like because I've read Bill Bryson talking about his. Sound horrible. I discovered recently (ie, when visiting a lot of old friends the other week, who I hadn't seen since publishing on Amazon) that I really hate talking about what I do, apart from chatting to other writers in private. Must be horrible to have to do interviews and SOUND ARTICULATE.
