I’m in the process of falling out of love with my book

So, how do we kiss our jitters good-bye?

I tell myself that I’m doing the best possible job that I can.

Have you faced any jitters lately? How do you kiss your jitters good-bye?

Sometimes we need precision and sometimes we don’t

Do we need to be so nitpicky? Or can we give ourselves some leeway?

What’s your opinion? Do you think writers need to spend time learning to navigate with fiction-writing techniques first? Or do you think writers should set their own courses and do whatever works for them?

On one side, some say that fiction writers should NOT blog about “writing.”

On the other hand, some say if we’re passionate about writing, then why not share that love with others?

I haven’t been sure who’s right

So is there really a right or wrong way for fiction writers to approach blogging?

I believe one of the primary purposes of blogging for fiction writers is to develop a team or tribe, particularly before publication.

So then, does it really matter what we blog about?

What’s your opinion? Do you agree with my evolving philosophy that one of the primary purposes of blogging for fiction writers is in building a team? Do you think it matters what a writer blogs about?

Mid-week blog tour stops:

Thurs. 10/13:

1. I’ve written too realistically.

2. I’ve allowed myself to get too close to my story.

3. I wasn't prepared for the increase in my workload.

4. I had too high of expectations for the sales of my first book.

5. I’d hoped that my marketing efforts could eventually decrease with subsequent books

So those are a few of my mistakes. Since I’ve fessed up, now it’s your turn! What mistakes have you made in your writing journey?

Tuesday 10/11:

we MUST write a praiseworthy book.

offering free books to reviewers.

1. What are some of the ways authors annoy book reviewers? What is the wrong way to go about asking for a review or gaining attention?

2. What are some ways authors can solicit reviews in a positive way? What is good etiquette in interacting with reviewers?

Be smart about the bloggers you target.

• Look for a review policy.

• Write a personal email addressed to the reviewer by name.

• Respond graciously.

• Do not send unsolicited copies of your books.

• Do send a gentle reminder.

• Consider other options to a review.

• Acknowledge the review.

Thank you

How about you? Other book bloggers, do you have anything to add to Rel's list? And writers, when you think about asking for reviews, what's the most daunting aspect of the process for you? (Asking for the reviews? Giving out free books? Wondering how people will like your book? Other?)

************************************************************

BLOG TOUR STOPS & BOOK GIVEAWAYS!

Saturday 10/8:

But with all of the books out there, how do reviewers decide which ones deserve a spotlight?

1. First, give us a behind the scenes look at what goes in to being a book reviewer.

2. With so many talented authors and books out there, how do you choose which books to review?

My (Jody's) closing thoughts:

annoy book reviewers

some positive ways authors can connect

and cultivate relationships with reviewers

Question for you: If you’re a book blogger, how do you decide what books to review? And if you’re an author, have you given enough importance to book reviewers in your marketing plans?

BLOG TOUR STOPS AND GIVEAWAYS:

Thursday 10/6:

Here are a few things I came away from the conference realizing:

There will always be people who won’t know us or even care about us.

What does the obscurity teach us?

There will always be others ahead of us in the publishing journey.

What does the inexperience teach us?

There will always be newer writers coming along behind us

What does the tendency toward pride teach us?

What about you? Amidst all of the talented writers out there, have you ever felt like you’re getting lost in the crowd? Have you felt like a nobody? What is your advice for those further ahead of you?

My third book is releasing next fall 2012. My publisher met last week to discuss the title for the book. Surprisingly, they didn’t like my title idea this time. (Since they’d gone with my first choices for
