Writing A Book

     Never in my life would I have guessed that I would write a book! It all came about as a challenge, and low and behold here I am trying to promote a book. This is much more a struggle than I thought it would have been. I have a hard time with negative feed back, but people need to understand that when you try to promote a book you need to go down every avenue you can. Some people think that writing a review on book sites is misleading, but I am sure more than one author has done this. I am unsure what works the best so far since my book has only been released for 6 days now, but I have a page on facebook.com, this blog, my book is on the publishers website and on Amazon.com. I feel the internet is the place to flood the grounds with the word of my book, but I am positive that it does not hurt to get out there and get into the book stores.
    Word of advice to those out there who are writing or want to write a book, make sure you have several people read the book to find all mistakes. I had this done, but there are still mistakes in the book and not all publishers edit the story for you. Do not fall into the same pitfall as I did. If I ever finish the second installment of my story I will make sure I am confident that the story is devoid of all errors. One thing that I do have going for me though is the story is a good read and when you read it, it read like there are no errors (mostly) because I feel you be there in the story with the characters.
     If anyone has any more suggestions on the topic let me know, for I am more than willing to listen. Thanks!
