Self-Promotion, or it's all about ME!

Lynn Viehl has an interesting post over on her blog about author self-promotion and the plethora of tools that exist for authors now. Lynn is an interesting writer in terms of self-promotion: she blogs almost every day, and really interacts with her readers, especially for someone with her level of publishing success, but she doesn't do a lot of other self-promotion.* I don't have anything to promote at the moment**, but Lynn's post made me think about what I will do when I'm published.*** I think that's probably the key to successful self-promotion, thinking about what you like to do and making that a tool for promotion. So these are the things that I will do when I get a book published: 1. blog. I've had a blog in some form or another for a long time now (not just this one). I like a blog/website, because it provides a central place for readers to go, and the longer form gives me a chance to expound at great length one stuff that I want to expound on.*
