Sales good, promotions bad

Online sales on Amazon have been going well, but if you haven't pre-ordered, don't be shy and get on there. The book's going to be sent for proof next week. That means I'll be able to hold my baby in my hands and examine it for every imperfection. It's just like being a real parent.

But, in the real of all that is self-publishing, I can guarantee one thing -- promoting yourself sucks. I have to go around and tell people how great I am and why they should buy my book. Seriously, I know arrogance would run high on my personality trait list, but even this is a bit much for me.

So, to ease my I-feel-like-a-whore pains, tell as many people as you can. Link the image of the cover to your MySpace page. Send some e-mails. Anything would help.

Seriously, I'm just a writer, not a PR flak.
