Like, watching TV or having time to play FB Farm Town or Scrabble. ;-D Seriously, we have to make decisions about time management. And budget - I'm still in the "throw receipts in a box and hope to God the tax elf can figure it out for me" mode.

Finding a balance between promo and "being social" as well as making time to write and keeping up with the tweeting, FB and blog postings... it's been an eye opener for me, all right!

Most writer spend so much time trying to find their way over or through that fence that they forget that they will need a plan to tackle mowing that grass. You need to find the right balance between grabbing support and helping.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01046515540256155412noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5567078841309273948.post-62838055626582690722011-07-06T19:52:03.985-05:002011-07-06T19:52:03.985-05:00There is such a fine line between trimming the law...There is such a fine line between trimming the lawn and mowing it into oblivion. You have to promo, sure, but you can't make a pest out of yourself while doing it. I hang with other writers and pay attention to the things they do and what works for them. It seems to me that being friendly and available to chat, as well as posting on other blogs and doing anything that gets your name out there where people see it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
