Have you ever tried to juggle? I have, and I've not been successful. I'm sure there's a technique to juggling, but I haven't learned it. Even though I can't juggle balls or some other objects, I do juggle a lot of other things as an author. Authors have to juggle writing, editing, promotion, social media, and the rest of their lives. Indie authors may have to add book covers, formatting, and even more promotion to the mix.
You've probably heard the expression, "dropped the ball." Sometimes when you're trying to keep all those things going, despite all your hard work, you drop one of those balls or maybe two or three. Recently, I confess to dropping the promotion ball. I've been writing one book, editing another, and formatting yet another book. While doing those things, I haven't kept up with the promotional aspect of writing. This blog post might help with a little promotion.
Do you prefer to read ebooks or paperback books?

I can juggle with one hand, but I've never mastered two hand juggling. I find it easier to read on an e-reader for fiction and in print for non-fiction.
ReplyDeleteI certainly understand dropping the proverbial ball. I've been doing it a lot this year.
