Oh the Tediousness of Begging

The tediousness of begging eventually got to me yesterday. I spent most of the day reading blogs to see if they were sites I wanted to be associated with and then, if they were, reading the review policy and then filling out forms or sending off e-mails.

I know it is a prudent and smart thing to do. I know it can help to reach an audience that otherwise would never know about the book. I know it needs doing.

I know I hate it.

But then no job can be filled exclusively with what  we enjoy doing – even this one.

So I reassure myself that even if I can get one blog site to accept ,and get just one half-decent review from them, it is worth it.

I want my book to succeed. I don’t care about money but I do care that people actually read it, and hopefully enjoy it.

So back to the blogs I go.
