A Myth of Time

I did a Sacred Cows post below this one.

The Day

Writers’ meeting, then worked on workshop stuff at WMG, then walked to a late lunch with Kris, then back to work on more workshop stuff.

Home to cook a late dinner and take a nap. Then I had to finish my 10,000 (5 miles) steps and got that done right before midnight, then just watched some television until around 2 a.m.

Then in here to do e-mail and some more workshop stuff. I’ll fire on the new book tomorrow again.

    Hi Dean! You mention D2D. Have you guys tried that? Hive mind, those of you that are using D2D, is it worth it? I can do my own e-books beautifully on Jutoh at this point, but I’m attracted by their promise of “more reach.” So, is it true? Aside from listing your book everywhere possible (which is a nice convenience,) do they provide any kind of promotional boost?

    (Dean, those roses that are going to come out of my ass while asleep better be thronless. Seriously… LOL!)

      D2D is great, but just another distributor. Not sure what you even mean by “promotional boost” since they are only a distributor. We go to both Smashwords and D2D for different channels.
