Link grab-bag: writers, self-promotion, and Goldilocks

There's bee some interesting noise on the internet over the past six months regarding writers who promote too soon -- a definite change in the previous idea of promote as soon as possible to grow your base!  Sheesh.  Conflicting advice.  Fun.  Anyway, the don't-promote-too-soon camp has some good points to make.

I'm fascinated by this.

I was rapt by this.

Then, things started getting tricky.

I paused.

I (mentally) shifted my weight back to my heels.

Then I felt vaugely wondrous and triumphant, even though it wasn't me doing the triumphing. Or the work.
