I was on a publisher chat today.
The chat was for
all of the publisher’s authors
yet only 3 authors (myself included)
showed up.
One author decided to
give a book away.
Great.
I don’t have a problem
with that.
When her contest was done,
she asked the other author and I
if we’d be giving books away also.
What the hell?
If we said no,
we’d look like greedy, selfish people.
So the other author gave a book away.
I didn’t.
I don’t give entire books away
to individuals.
I give linked shorter stories away
to everyone.
So that’s what I offered up.
The thing is…
even though I had a response,
I didn’t like being put in a corner.
I hated it, in fact.
I thought it was sneaky
and underhanded of her.
Before you put someone
in the corner like that,
THINK about it.
Think
“Do I truly want to
make an enemy of this person?”
