Why Are So Many Writers In Such a Hurry?
Jody Hedlund quoting Bob Mayer, a traditionally published author turned self-publisher:
I really respect Bob’s balanced approach. Here’s what he said: “The problem right now is too many writers are putting their first manuscript up and spending 75% of their time trying to promote as they try to write their second book. The focus isn’t on the writing, it’s on the selling.”
Jody makes some other excellent points in this post, many of which are relevant to my article this morning about writing a book in seven weeks. Or not, as I’d suggest is preferable.
