I always bitch at my friends who have written books, but fail to update their blog. If you want to build a fanbase you need to give your potential fans something new to come and look at every once in awhile. Regardless if it’s a blog, tweet or picture–when you update it updates your status in the readers mind.
However while in a phone conversation with a friend the other day she pointed out most authors have children. When you have a child it’s a wonderful bonus to your life but an extra work load. When you write part time, work a full time job and have to come home to take care of your children that leaves little time for marketing.

So with that in mind I’ve recently put my marketing smarts to use–obvisouly I know what I am doing I’m a rank on Google and it also knows how to correct the spelling of my name now–by helping others. My rates are not horribly bad and I’m flexible. As quoted from one of my clients you hire my expertise NOT my name. If you would like more information on that feel free to mail me at devynwburton@gmail.com.
When I write I like to listen to music. I find the feedback when I ask other authors if they like music while writing is mixed. Some people listen to music without words, some people refuse to let any sounds touch their ears and some people listen to whatever they can get their hands on.
I have been sucked into 8-bit music–and I’m not too ashamed to admit that while I write a dance with the music. It helps knock the ideas around in my brain–I do find myself turning down the music fairly low when I’m focusing on a certain aspect of the book but usually it’s blaring in my ears.
I’d like to share the song with you and wish you a great month.
Until Next Time,
Devyn Burton
