Sigh.
I still find myself fighting to promote the works of indie authors in general, and myself in particular. Though this particular forum is more progressive than most in this area, other forums and books-related sites still talk of unpublished authors as the unwashed, untalented, obnoxious and disliked scum of the literate Earth. And of course, everyone looks down on advertising, so any attempt to advertise yourself ends up in character abuse. (Even on this site, author-promoters had to be segregated away in their own thread, so as not to offend those who "can't stand all that personal hype" and seek to avoid being exposed to ads at all costs.)
I honestly don't know how I can promote myself, when any time I even raise a finger to try to promote myself, I get attacked for it. It's frustrating.
