At 12, my plans were actually to be a single mom by choice, and now it appears as though I'm going to have to do that after all. My ex-"fiancé" just wouldn't work on any of his numerous issues, and still is as much of a walking DSM as he was when I finally ended it.Carrie-Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05810154378449825641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2502176161456143914.post-71410551825654445852014-04-15T12:53:01.534-04:002014-04-15T12:53:01.534-04:00*Wags a finger* That marriage gag was a little mea...*Wags a finger* That marriage gag was a little mean but totally hilarious and often true. Making wishing or getting in trouble by the falls, meeting merfolk and ogres too! Yes I'm definitely getting this book. More books can definitely help you get noticed. If readers aren't into one series or book by you, they can get drawn into the next one or both. Marketing is tough but I will say that finishing a WIP is still one of the toughest part. Plus it is pretty important.Sheena-kay Grahamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17712661419116636671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2502176161456143914.post-41349264419390992952014-04-15T12:50:04.926-04:002014-04-15T12:50:04.926-04:00Getting more books out is supposed to help as long...Getting more books out is supposed to help as long as those books are good.

The first draft is fun, but the work going into polishing it and prepping for publication takes a lot of work. It seems marketing and promo are different types of work. Maybe apples and oranges? Some people are more savvy at those aspects than others.<br /><br />Hope you're enjoying the A to Z Challenge!
