I think it's interesting to hear what works for other people. Sometimes it inspires me to try a new approach. <br /><br />The Rainbow Lorikeets are beautiful!Dawn Simonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05667675689038435581noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3602571838684092188.post-36517619703993607772011-05-20T12:07:07.064+10:002011-05-20T12:07:07.064+10:00Love the lorikeets!

My problem is I don’t have time to promote my work properly. I have the goods but not the marketing. <br />Lucky you on the birds, I have a good friend that is a breeder of exotic birds.<br />But of course lorikeets are just “boring” natives down here :-)<br />They are really common right up and down the east coast of Oz.<br /><br />Hi Jenny,<br />It is nice to hear that putting the pressure on works for you!<br /><br /><br />Hi Angela,<br />Thank you! <br />I love multiple POV, but it is hard work too!<br /><br />Hi Anne,<br />How hard to not be enjoying the writing :-(<br />No alas, I have written about a number of job interviews I have had.<br />I have not yet have the fortune to land a new job. I am still where I was and taking a very hard earned break ;-)<br />But it is nice to live in Oz!<br /><br />Hi Linda,<br />They are lovely!<br />Targets seem to work well for many people, I am not entirely convinced for myself.<br /><br />Hi Sarah,<br />You are right, beating yourself up is counter productive!<br /><br />Hi Susan,<br />Lori’s are some of my favourites!<br />I think your attitude is the best one. I would hate my writing to be a chore!<br /><br />Hi Denise,<br />Thank you! Something else ;-)<br />I think we must be half cracked to enjoy writing ;-)<br /><br />Hi Pamela Jo,<br />Thank you again for that review of Shadows you posted ;-)<br />Alas very few people have bought my book.<br />As I said to Stephen I simply haven’t had time to promote it. Marketing = sales.<br />I certainly will be bringing my camera!Alhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15625543235578144620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3602571838684092188.post-63579149397360994542011-05-19T09:19:29.706+10:002011-05-19T09:19:29.706+10:00Al as one of the few (are you serious) lucky reade...Al as one of the few (are you serious) lucky readers of Shadows I can't wait to read Storms. <br />Enjoy you trip.

I probably should, but I've gotten to the point where I mostly take one day at a time, and do the best I can. No pressure on myself to write more, to submit more, because as you say, I do it for the sheer pleasure of doing it.Susan Flett Swiderskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09425315552148200073noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3602571838684092188.post-51646616111565176102011-05-19T03:54:12.110+10:002011-05-19T03:54:12.110+10:00i set myself writing goals.
