It's tough when you have only one book out: you want to promote so people will buy it, and so your publisher will see your worth to the company, but then again, if you run out of time to write your next book, then you don't have that much to offer your publisher anyway. Frustrating.
A quick reminder:
It starts tomorrow, and should be a lot of fun, so join in! And now I'm off...to WRITE, dammit. :)

You've summed up the reason I decided to jump off the query-go-round for awhile. I have something I think I can get traditionally published, but I can spend my time querying or spend it writing and pursuing other creative interests.
Good luck on finding that balance!
Allie,
That's the problem I've had. I spend so much time promoting my 3 books that I haven't had time to finish my new book. I've decided to stop doing some of the promo things that take so much time.
I hope you get everything done on your list today. I wanted to write today but we're closing the pool.
good luck on your writing.
it's a tricky balance. Particularly because its very hard to see how much benefit your promotion efforts are having.(if any!)
