…asking others for assistance. It’s what you do when you don’t know how to do something, or when what you’re doing isn’t working. There’s nothing wrong with asking for help; in fact, everything about it is right, when the circumstances warrant it.
Which is why I found a way to pay for two months worth of book promotion and a video clip trailer. My books aren’t selling, and I clearly have no real idea of how to get them into the public eye. Time to ask for help. And it feels so good to do that, to see someone who knows what she’s doing putting my work out there for other people to see. Too, it’s such a relief. I don’t have to fret about what I’m not managing to do any more on the publicity front, which gives me more time to write…which is what I need to be doing as I follow another bit of good advice.
Keep writing, even if it seems futile. The more work I have published, the more readers will have to choose from, and the more they will have to fall in love with. I cannot grow as a writer if I can’t put some trust in others to help me find my way when I need them. And so it goes…
