I keep debating whether or not it is worth the while keeping the blog open. I offer freebies, contests and other goodies to no avail. Nothing seems to work.

Hey, I know I'm a nobody. I wrote a book. So what? Everyone and their dog is writing books these days. And it's a fantasy?! I imagine the eyes rolling. "She thinks she's the next Tolkien" Actually, no, I don't think that. I made sure I wasn't writing anything that was similar to any fantasy novel.

A better blog design? Tried it. Put the cover on it and fancied it up. Wrote clever this and that. I visited other blogs and commented because I was told that was the way to get people to my blog. I tweeted and found that was pretty much a waste of time. It's the equivalent of talking to yourself out loud in public.

"Nobody reads her book" It does seem that way, doesn't it?  My pockets are pretty much empty of any royalties and reviews haven't done much to change that.

So what's the next step? I have readers waiting for the sequel. I hate to tell them it's going to be an extremely long wait. Between editing and book cover there's a lot of money needed. Money I don't have. I barely have any to live on and what little I do have must go to expenses at home.

All right, that's enough whining from me. Things happen as they are supposed to happen.
