An Old Old Story Made New For Me

If you are thinking I’ve come up with a reinterpretation of a fairy tale – think again.

If you are thinking I’ve come up with a twist on a well known myth – think again.

If you are thinking, he’s just found out that he needs to drive up reviews, to increase his exposure and hopefully his sales, but can’t do that unless his sales are driven up, and those sales write reviews, and he’s caught in a vicious circle where he thrashes and flounders desperately, trying to break free of the whirlpool sucking him in and down… then you are right.

Every indie author goes through this. I knew every indie author goes through this going in. But knowing and experiencing … well different perspectives can change the whole picture.

So what am I going to do? I honestly don’t know. Im continuing to approach blog reviewers, and request reviews. I’m percolating thoughts through my grey matter, in hopes answers come to me. I don’t think I’m going to have a ‘eureka’ moment however. There have been many people in this same doldrums before me and their ghost ships still bob out there a few hundred feet away.

Still, that is no reason to quit trying. I’m going to be throwing more effort and time into what I do best – writing – but I’m not giving up on marketing yet… not by a long shot.
