I've now surpassed the 70,000-word mark for my 2nd novel.
I've also been playing around a little bit with eBook advertising for my first novel, though it's produced virtually zero results. It sometimes makes me wonder does my cover suck, does my story suck, or is there a secret trick I'm just not getting? All I know is that I look at other eBooks, what with their twenty, thirty, and forty-plus reviews and can't help but feel I'm missing something. It could be that I'm just not shelling out enough money to advertisers, but I can't help but feel the answer is simpler, like it's something everybody knows but me.
At any rate, my best bet at the moment would likely be to just hurry up and get my next book done. And of course, that involves spending less time harping about my literary anonymity and more time writing.
Anyway, I guess that's all I've got for now.
