Getting on the bandwagon
At the urging of some friends from InspiredAuthor.com’s Friday night chats, I decided to sign up with MySpace.com. Apparently that site is the “in” place for anyone who is anybody or anyone who wants to be somebody. LOL
Seriously, it’s a great place for networking. The idea is to promote yourself before your book is published. You want to get your name out there, build a reputation (good one, naturally!), and generate interest in your soon-to-be-published novel. Even if you’re still writing your novel, it doesn’t hurt to have potential readers lined up and anxiously awaiting its publication. The trick is to not spend so much time on marketing and networking that you (me!) don’t have time to write that novel.
Right now my MySpace spot is a bit bare, and I’m not likely to do any blogging there for awhile. I’m busy doing the preplanning done for the novel I”m going to work on during NaNoWriMo, which starts next week. Actually, I have at least three novel ideas to choose from. Maybe I’ll post loglines from each in the next day or so and see which one ya’ll think would be the mosting interesting story.
