I suck at promoting ...I know exactly what you mean. I suck at promoting myself too. <br /><br />But I also really like to know when my friends have books coming out or readings lined up because I actually do love to read and I love to go to readings. So I like it when my friends put their own stuff out there.<br /><br />I'm looking forward to reading your poetry.jo(e)https://www.blogger.com/profile/01488562158252331555noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8276394445294788649.post-18684137420171275982012-02-09T19:39:06.499-05:002012-02-09T19:39:06.499-05:00@Kim HoseyRassum Frassum.

And you nailed it. I'...You ARE fucking awesome.<br /><br />And you nailed it. I've tried to self promote, sort of (though I haven't had a book), and I just can't. I feel the same way about the marketing-tip e-mails -- I get a few of them regularly, then delete them automatically. Sometimes I even save them "for later." I got really crazy the other day and unsubscribed from a few, after relentlessly cleaning out my inbox for like an hour straight. I'm an e-mail hoarder. It felt therapeutic to purge all the bullshit.<br /><br />I so badly want to write and photograph what I'm good at, because I know I could be good if I had the audience. But I don't have the audience, so I spend time worrying about it, trying to get gigs, and fantasizing about what I'd do with Big Shot's readers or Super Blogger's audience. It's lame. I hope I'm not the only one.<br /><br />And if you're not plugging yourself enough, I'll make sure to, at least. Your poems deserve a huge audience.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13738377880145008895noreply@blogger.com
