David, your comment made me laugh out loud.  You said,
 " I just don't get this marketing game in all honesty." Unless we majored
in sales & marketing,  we all echo your thoughts and frustrations.

Most of us who  published a book this  past year are in learning mode. Like
everything else we have  done to get our books written and published,  there
is  a steep learning curve.  But, we persevered and we did it.   
Writing the book and publishing the book - what a remarkable achievement for
you.  
Keep on going. It is not easy for any of us. I plan to do something once a
week - try "something."  Just one day out of every week for the entire year.
In this way, I will have done 52 activities  towards my intended outcome. We
will see a year from  now what worked and what did not. I'm looking at it as
a slow and steady  walk through the seasons. My goal is to share my book
with others in as many ways as I fan. Meanwhile, I have a new chapbook ready
to begin sending out to publishers this year, and I am currently working on
a full-length book of new and selected poems. 
I think it will be a good year for learning and maturing as a writer. Above
all else, I plan to enjoy this ride. 
Lynda

Hi Writers,

First, I want to wish everyone a happy 2018 and the best with your writing
and non-writing endeavors.
Second, welcome back Thea Ramsay. I sent you an email off-group on Wednesday
January 10.

I have posted an author interview at smashwords.com where my anthology,
Waiting For Messiah is published.
Unless this turns into a link, the URL is
https://www.smashwords.com/interview/Canorous.

- I joined a group at goodreads.com called Christian Fiction Writers and
Bloggers, and am making myself known to random bloggers who make themselves
known on that website. So far it has been a hit-and-miss proposition.

I did some give-aways at www.librarything.com and those were somewhat
successful, although no ratings or reviews have yet been placed from those
on Smashwords but may be on librarything. I just don't get this marketing
game in all honesty.

I'll write more later. The day has been long enough, and it's time for me to
get some rest and relaxation.
Best to all of us!
