As long as Its Irish! discussion

Hi everyone,
I've just started a blog last month and I am trying to some interesting posts out there. But I need your help.
Have you ever had a question you've always wanted answered?
Perhaps, your a reader and your just curious as to wether Elosia James like tea or coffee? Maybe your a writer and you want to know how your readers feel about ebooks or stereotypes.
If you've got a question, I want it. Each week, I will (for the mean time) take on one question. I will do my research, contact those authors and get those answers.
So tell me, What have you always wanted to know?

I would like to hear from other authors about how they handle their time to include book promotion while they rather be writing.
It's a very competitive industry and unless you hit that soft spot right off the bat chances are you will need to learn to self-promote heavily which means less time putting ideas to (digital) paper.
Curious to hear what others do about it.

I think that's a great question. :) I've got a post atm about time management you might like to look at and I can answer that question based on the last week.
But I will definately ask around for you. You might have to wait a little while, as I'm limited by some promotional restrictions (the forum I post on only allows promotional comments on sundays). But i'll contact the moderator and see if i can wiggle my way in. In the meantime, Chris, I'll keep you up dated. Looking forward to answering your question. :)

When I was a business consultant, the "industry standard" among consultants was that one needed to spend about 20% of their work time on marketing (i.e., working to get future clients). That works out to one day per week. I now apply roughly the same idea to promoting my books.
