Sorry for the ramble.
Best to all,

That's how I feel, too. I've backed off marketing to concentrate on other work.
I've learned some important and difficult lessons about my writing by putting the work out to readers, and can hopefully translate that into future work that will resonate even more. I'm not in this for money, so there's no reason to push the marketing to the max. My object is to create better, more compelling stories with each successive effort (and maybe improve some of the ones I've already written). But I'm not counting on ever being able to do this full-time. I need to write for my own sanity. Anything else that I get beyond that is gravy.
