"Addicted to Pinterest. Social media too time consuming to work on my second book but necessary to promote current one. Yikes."

Feeling Stalled

I've been ignoring my fiction. I've been spending all my time with my kids, boyfriend, friends and family drinking wine and enjoying the holidays. Now, I'm concentrating on promoting my latest book but I'm finding it overwhelming and everytime I make one step forward I'm taking two steps back. I'll be reading some helpful blogs here on She Writes to get me motivated and inspired!See More

"Great advice! I'm still trying to get the hang of Twitter. So far my followers are promoting Hook up sites. In other words they are escorts, so I've had to delete these ones. It's a very cool network however…"

Getting my Book From a Crazy Idea to Print...

Posted on December 14, 2011 at 5:00pm 0 Comments 1 Like

In 2006 I had this great idea that I should write a book sharing some of my experiences as "the woman who left her marriage...". Soon this idea morphed into a self help guide for women. I started writing in long hand whenever I had the chance. I started reading tons of books in relation to parenting and divorce. At this point I didn't actually think I would finish it. I thought to myself "oh here's another one of your great ideas you start but then soon abandon when the fire burns…

A lovely thing to stand for.

I'm not wild about photos of myself either, but in this day of folks posting photos all over the internet, I've gotten used to having them all over the place, including some really dreadful ones. It's sort of liberating, once you get over it.

Thanks for your friend request, and I would love to be friends, but … There are so many places for folks to promote books online, and so few venues for writers to connect, and I really value She Writes for that connection - getting to know other writers and helping each other (help and support that was indispensible to me before and as I was getting published, and still is). Because of that, I've long held to a policy of accepting friendships only from people who don't use book jacket covers or other promotional materials as their "face" here. I do understand the desire to have folks know we have books they might buy - please believe me on this. I certainly keep the jackets of my novels up on my homepage. But I like to think we are here for something different, and nearly every one of the wonderful writers here – including many award winning ones – do use personal photos. If you decide to change your profile photo, I would be delighted to count you as a friend. But of course will understand if you choose not to. In any event, I’ll enjoy seeing you around here.

Best,

Meg
