... that the STRING BRIDGE WEBSITE is now LIVE!Here you can read about the novel and music, reader's reviews, learn where to purchase the soundtrack and access the lyrics to all the songs from the album. Thank you so much Steph for putting this together for me!
It's not long until the launch of String Bridge and its accompanying soundtrack and I am SOOOOOOOOO nervous about it all. And yes, my insecurities from yesterday continue ...
- Will I answer all the interview questions on time?
- Will my answers be unique enough to hold your interest?
- Do people even care about blog tours or is it just a thrill for the author and the participants?
- Will the Amazon Chart Rush on November 11th work or will it be a total flop?
- Have I DONE everything I need to do, or has something slipped through the back door unnoticed?
- Will my book be up on Amazon in time for the blog tour, or will Amazon make my life a living hell?
- Are people really being honest when they post a positive review of my book or am I just being humored?
- This is the first and last time I am ever going to release my DEBUT. Will I enjoy the whole experience or will I be stressed out about the whole thing?
- Is all this self-promotion annoying? I'd hate it to be annoying and have people rolling their eyes every time they see "String Bridge". I'm so sorry if it ever makes you feel that way, but what choice do I have?
- Will it actually sell? Will my soundtrack sell?
- Am I pushing people too hard to help me promote this?
- I'm SO excited. Is it coming off as STRESS? I think it is ... but it's not meant to be!
Please, please, pretty please with magical cherries on top, could you help me spread the word about the website today? It would be ever so much appreciated!
And ... have a wonderful weekend!
It doesn't bother me. Blog tours and self promotion can get old sometimes, but I think they're a necessary evil. You can't not promote your book, otherwise no one new would hear of it, but you have to be careful not to overdo it, or the people who are already aware of it will get tired of it.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on the site. That is too cool. I don't mind spreading the word. :)
ReplyDeleteThat something that slipped through the back door unnoticed was only me. But don’t worry, I’m bringing back pizza.
ReplyDeleteWill it be on the Kobo site? Will the sountrack be on ITunes?
ReplyDeleteNot sure about Kobo, but iTunes definitely! :o)
ReplyDeleteCongratulations, Jessica!
ReplyDeleteI've tweeted and no, of course, I don't mind helping you spread the word. And no, I don't think you're being a nuisance. I think it's kinda cool when I visit blogs and see your String Bridge promo badge. Means you're getting the job done. I know you're gonna stress over this, but enjoy the ride as well!
ReplyDeleteI for one was completely honest about my review of String Bridge. It's a wonderful book and you are a gifted writer. I don't know a thing about music but I'm sure you'll be fantastic there as well!
ReplyDeleteIt's craziness, but it's all for the good! Hang in there!
ReplyDeleteIt's ALL AMAZING. Just sit back, pour a drink (or two) and enjoy the ride. Oh, and promote the hell out of yourself - nothing wrong with that!!
ReplyDeleteJess, congrats! The website looks amazing. :)
ReplyDeleteThis is so exciting. I'm really looking forward to reading your book.
ReplyDeleteYay! It's such an exciting and anxiety-inducing time, but if you can remind yourself to relax every once in a while, and try to enjoy the experience!
ReplyDeleteYay! Supercool and awesome. You're up next on my hit parade, and take Talli's advice... she's been there~ :o) <3
ReplyDeleteCongrats! And no, I don't think you're being humored by good reviews. Good review means=good book. You've done a lot of hard work, it's pretty amazing to see it all come together. Go YOU!
ReplyDeleteCongrats Jessica. On the way over to take a look.
ReplyDeleteCongrats Jessica! I've got your link on my sidebar. Hope it all goes well. I looks great, btw. ;)
ReplyDeleteThe new website is purrty! So, that one thing you don't have to worry about!
ReplyDeleteYay! No worries, Jessica, it's all gonna be awesome! I tweeted and will FB later. :-)
ReplyDeleteOoooh! Congratulations! I'm so excited for you! And I think you are doing great on the promo and will LOVE the debut experience!
ReplyDeleteLove the website, Jess! Congratulations! I'm happy to help out and post the news on my blog. Take care...:)
ReplyDeleteI hear you about the self promotion thing, but we all have to do it (or will have to do it.) But don't worry too much, because it's so exciting! Woot!
ReplyDeleteAwesome!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteHow very exciting:-) It's natural to be apprehensive - it would be worrying if you weren't.
ReplyDeleteEverything will be cool, Jessica - don't panic!
ReplyDeleteTake a deep breath. Scream underwater and dance! Everything will go fantastically. Before you know it, all is done.
ReplyDeleteThe web site looks good. I have it posted.

ReplyDeleteAnd you'll do fine. Just remember to breathe and take one thing at a time. :)
The website looks great, Jess! The blog tour will be awesome, and it's gonna be stupidly successful :)
ReplyDeleteJust hopped over. If people are posting positive reviews, you are doing something right. Follow your dreams. I hope that your book does good. (I feel like I have been saying that a lot) Good luck getting everything to be released on time without a hitch.
ReplyDeleteThe site looks great! I'm sorry I missed your request about promoting the site. I'll put something up on FB today. <3
