Tremendous changes over the last couple of months. I’ve put together two complete new websites, one for my real name and another for my new pseudonym, T. James Logan.
Of course, if you’re an entrepreneur, you know how web sites and marketing efforts can be a bottomless rabbit hole of things to do. The ways that technology can be networked over all sorts of platforms from desktops to smart phones is mind-boggling. Integrated mailing lists, giveaways, ebook marketing, social media, all of these things have an immense learning curve, adding up to weeks spent in which nothing but ad copy is actually written. Nevertheless, I’ve committed myself to getting better at this. I think it behooves all writers who want to make a career of it. Back in my teens and twenties, I would never, ever have guessed that this was the stuff I would have to learn how to do, in addition to continuously polishing my craft. Apparently I’m still getting over my innate resistance to tooting my own horn.
Be that as it may, this is a new and ever-changing era. Those who do not adapt get eaten by those who do.
So I’m making a more concerted effort henceforth to get the word out. It also means that I’ll probably be posting more here. It does feel good though to have put together such a slick, attractive website. It makes me want to show off my books, because guess what: I think they’re pretty cool.
