Today, in a blog post entitled What I Won't do to Sell More books writer Nicola Morgan expresses what I think many of us writers are now feeling. Her ten points include: 'cut[ting] back on being a writer and bust a gut to do more marketing.
(Because as far as I know there are only 24 hours in a day and I can't
stay awake for all of them.)'and 'tailoring the books I write to have a far greater mass appeal, even
though those are not the books I really want to write (Nothing wrong
with them but they don't beat my heart.)', but I urge you to go across and read the whole post in which she elaborates on her reasons. If she did any of the things listed, she says, she wouldn't be the writer or person she wants to be.

Just spotted this, Elizabeth - thank you! I'm currently in the middle of participating in the World Writers' Conference in Edinburgh, and I'm desperate to stop talking and get writing.
