Limited Platform - That Is My Decision, and I am Sticking to It.

I have not written a blog post for months. This is not because of laziness or apathy. Truth is, I have spent the last five or six months thinking deeply about whether or not I should attempt to increase my internet platform in an effort to widen my readership and, hopefully, gain more sales and recognition.

I began exploring the idea of increasing my platform as far back as January and have wrestled with the notion for months, but I have come to the realization that I am not interested in this pursuit at all. I understand this contradicts most conventional wisdom regarding marketing, branding, and social media. Even though my efforts and web presence to date have yielded little in terms of sales and recognition, I will continue to limit my internet presence to this site and the few book-related sites that feature or sell my work, such as Goodreads, Amazon, Library Thing, etc.

I will delve into the some of the reasons for this decision in future posts.
