I've got enough e-mail from RWA chapter loops (I do belong to quite a few chapters), and I don't need to shift through more. Hell, when I turn LRC on for GBLT chat days, my inbox fills with hundreds of e-mails in one day from that one loop alone. And that's with me trying to keep on top of them, and read them. sigh. <br /><br />Yeah, promo can easily SUCK up all your time. My strategy has been to pick a few loops, and only promo on theme days, when I know I'll be able to reach more people who may be receptive to my books.

Only a few days left until your first book releases!! :) Getting excited yet?Ava Marchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07728101223255398162noreply@blogger.com
