I have been very careful to continue to offer all of the other free stuff--including the newsletter, podcast, and numerous resources on the blog--I give readers every week while I work on the book. I think I counted 6 mentions of the book in the last 32 posts. I'd be a terrible marketing advisor if I mentioned it any less. I don't think it's fair to ask me not to mention my book amid all of the information I'm giving away. It's like if I were to visit your blog and and ask you not to write about your art. The book is a huge part of what I'm doing right now, so I will continue to write about it. Not only that, but I need artists' (including your) input. I think it is what makes my work different.

You are a marketing expert and I can see that what you're doing is building up anticipation and enthusiasm for your book so that when it finally comes out, it will sell well. Frankly, I'm getting annoyed at this tactic. You're talking about it too much, making too much of the title, the cover, etc. etc. Sorry, it's beginning to feel like marketing run amok. I wish you good luck with the book, but please, stop pushing it at us. I enjoy your newsletters and your blog, but this is starting to dampen my enthusiasm.

Group energy can be whole lot of fun. I enjoyed meeting everyone on Tuesday and can't wait to see the finished book. (Especially the cover!) Congratulations and thank you for the wonderful work you're doing on behalf of artists. You’re right. Group energy can be whole lot of fun.
