DIY
I was never a child that asked a lot of questions. I tended to be quiet and observe or create my own world. In MY world, the answers were what I felt they should be to satisfy my curiosity. I suppose, in a way, my mind still functions the same. I am still observant and create alternate experiences by way of my writings.
I say all of this to say, my DIY (DO-IT-YOURSELF) began at an early age. The downfall of such thinking is that I once believed that everyone was just like me. Sometimes I still make that mistake. Old habits die hard. Please bear with me. So here is a brief run-down of how I was able to get "SHED" out into the world.
For my first book, I researched avenues for self-publishing my work. I thought it would be difficult but it was a piece of cake. The hardest part was getting beyond my fear of sharing my intimate and soulful thoughts with the world. Now this marketing thing? Its a whole other animal. However, I am up for the uphill climb. I joined author and book groups on sites such as fb, LinkedIn, and of course Good Reads. I receive a vast amount of information and ideas which is how I discovered this website as well as blog tours--the next stop on my promotional to-do list. Stay tuned!
