They pay for my plane tickets, taxis, hotels, food, and any other expenses that might come up!

That's so exciting!!! :)<br />Well, fortunately I work with an amazing publicist who does so much of that for me. But there have been many ways I have been able to promote myself that have really paid off! First off, consider engaging in all forms of social media. Get a fanpage on Facebook, start a twitter account, make Youtube vlogs. Also consider starting a blog and following and leaving sweet comments on other blogs you like! Contact some of your favorite book review blogs and ask if they'd like a free copy of your book to review! There are all kinds of small ways to get your name out there. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4024721400572472213.post-67558126364886996362013-02-22T21:13:53.258-06:002013-02-22T21:13:53.258-06:00Hi, Joy!

It is totally hard sometimes to balance it all out. Especially considering that this is my senior year of highschool! ;) I guess that I just try to write in my down-time, like in the evenings, and never let being "an author" go to my head or make me weird around any of my friends...<br /><br />I actually made a vlog video about this very topic a few months back (back in the summer, when I was actually tan, haha). Try watching it--maybe it'll answer some of your questions! :)<br /><br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0YnxwKRSn88Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4024721400572472213.post-40619665291746768172013-02-22T21:10:51.265-06:002013-02-22T21:10:51.265-06:00Well, all I can say is follow your gut and do what...Well, all I can say is follow your gut and do whatever you feel God is calling you to do right now! Writing should never feel like a chore or like someone is pushing you on a deadline! If you just do it because you love it then you'll create something wonderful, even if it takes a bit longer for you to sneak in the writing in between your busy life. :) For some people, writing is a great way to relax and chill in their downtime, sort of like watching TV! :)<br />Well, I wish you the best of luck in everything! xoAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4024721400572472213.post-50716349573981929682013-02-22T14:17:30.862-06:002013-02-22T14:17:30.862-06:00Ooooooooh, sound great!!

I write/edit for a couple hours every day and treat myself like I'm on a deadline. But the logical part of me is suggesting that I wait until schooling is over to actually submit anything, so I can do those things like travelling and speaking that come with being an author. And yet I know that the publishing process and editing and finding an agent alone can take years. So it's sort of a weird conflict. :P Anyway, I think I'll be able to handle it, since it's pretty much the top thing I want with my life. I'm just a little anxious about ruining it for myself I guess? Well anyway, thanks for talking. I do feel a lot better about it now, possibly because I put it to words and figured out what exactly I was freaking out about. :Pjstarickahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08182648047265536102noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4024721400572472213.post-48349886623553801372013-02-22T07:22:26.517-06:002013-02-22T07:22:26.517-06:00Oh, I should have been more clear: It's an onl...Oh, I should have been more clear: It's an online writing tutoring!
