Oops!
Well, I accidentally hit return and published the title of this blog post with no blog. Anyway. Tom Petty really did say it best- the waiting is the hardest part.
I just had a free promo event over at Amazon for my short story collection, Small Matters. Over a hundred copies went out. These types of promos are done, of course, in the hopes of getting reviews and spreading the word about your work. So far, one review is the net result of this giveaway, and I have had zero new sales. Granted, it's only been a couple of days- but somehow I have the feeling that I'll probably only see two or three reviews out of the deal. And how much do the reviews really matter? I don't know. My novel, Winter's Heart, has 12 reviews. So far this month, I've sold 8 or 9 copies.
Patience is a virtue, I know. I've only been doing this for 2 months. Slowly, slowly, things might build up.
or not.
Like the man said: the waiting is the hardest part.
