It's been a long week!
But I'm not going to complain, because it's not everyday someone can say they've been working on a marketing plan to help their publisher promote their new book. In between designing my website, getting head shots taken, and doing the normal mommy/wife thing, I've been calling radio stations, the local newspaper, visiting bookstores, and answering all manner of questions pertaining to my book. It was all a little overwhelming, but I'm fueled by knowing that in about a year or so, my story will be in print, and all the sleep deprivation will be entirely worth it. Soon I will start a series here on my blog about the writing process down through submissions, rejections, etcetera, that way I can stay true to the purpose of this blog: to help you, the aspiring writer, in your journey to being published. Looking back, I truly wish I had someone holding my hand through it all, giving me advice, clueing me in as what to expect next. I'm more the wiser having researched and learned by myself, but I do feel an obligation to my fellow writers to share what I've learned in any way I can (it's the same feeling I get when I walk in a bookstore and want to buy everything on the shelves, just so I can contribute to an author's income!). So in the meantime, you can visit my website, www.joleewilson.com to see what my stories are about, and the motivation behind them. Happy reading!
