We've already been noting on this thread that producing a book is very different from getting it noticed.

I've also been to various sales seminars etc. - which is how I know for certain just how bad my marketing skills are - so I'm familiar with the rah-rah self-work-up campaign. Do I want it so bad that I'm willing to talk like that, to look at life like that? I've answered that in the negative several times in the past. It doesn't mean I don't work hard, it just means I like it quiet.
