Writer's Block

(mis)adventures in writing a novel

Reading, Writing, and Resentment

It’s only fitting for my first blog post that I come clean.

I think blogs are silly.  I have never been all that interested in what Joe Snuffy thinks about world events, or what Amanda Hugandkiss bought at the mall.  I chuckle when I think how some bloggers hold themselves in such high regard for the clever little witticisms that they have decided warrant public exposure.  And yet, here I am joining their ranks.  I’m such a hypocrite. 

The real reason that I’ve started a blog is so that I can shamelessly promote the book that I’m writing.  I’ve read, as most indie authors have (is it too soon to call myself that), that blogging/tweeting are an absolutely invaluable piece of the marketing pie.

So you see, I’m not self-absorbed, nor do I like to hear myself talk; but that doesn’t mean that I’m not trying.
