Like most indie-authors I’m looking for the “secret of sales". How do I get the word out, how do I attract those followers I need. And yes I know it’s not all about selling, at least not for me. I enjoy the writing and I get a real kick out of people who tell me they’ve read my books and enjoyed them. In many ways I just want more people to enjoy them and if I can make a little on the positive side of expenses:sales balance sheet that would be great. 
In my previous blog I reflected on what I'd learnt in 2017. So now It’s time to look forward to a new year and make my writer's plans for 2018, a.k.a. resolutions. I do this every year and yes, I do look back at them from time to time. Like most of us some I have fulfilled, others have been partially met and some discarded along the way. So are they worth it? I think so. It’s a good time to re-focus, to assess what I’m trying to do, what I want to achieve.
For most writers success is not an overnight event. One of my all time, and sadly missed, writer heroes, Iain Banks, completed five or six books before being published. He persisted.
