I appreciate that someone who may like one thing I do may not like anything else, given that I've covered graphic novels, underground comics, weird fiction, dark adult thrillers and surreal fantasy in that time, and am currently working on a wilderness animal adventure for younger readers. How to market such a butterfly mind that can float between such extremes of genre? That's rather why my blog and Facebook page are pushed as [self-]publishers, rather than pushing myself as a writer or general creator. Hence the rather distinctive corporate identity and logo... but it's a dilemma I've tried hard not to think too much about...

Wha...I'm kind of with Miss River above on this. What if my stuff is never published? Should I still build a following?

I heard you should. Then I hear that I should have a website even if I'm not published because I need to have a following. I'm on Twitter but nobody seems to follow me and those who do don't really communicate with me. I write horror so my tweets aren't exactly happy go lucky. Should they be? I liked the post on social networking. Would it be possible to do another? Perhaps elaborate on the subject?
