<p>Ken, your success story is compelling. I always love it when I feel like the little guy can make a difference. I measure my success one interaction at a time. Here is my latest that I wanted to share with everyone:</p>

<p>I joined at Wattpad but can't see how to upload my book there. The only option I can find is "Create a Story". Their help said you can put your book up chapter by chapter as you write it, but unfortunately I don't work like that. I've no idea what will go where when I start writing. I just have a scene in my head, write it, and then see where it goes or where it fits. (Elgar used to write his music in the same way, so I feel I'm in good company).</p>

<p>Ian,</p>
<p>As for Wattpad-you merely just join the site and then you can start uploading your work there. Mind you, Wattpad is a <strong>free </strong>site, so put up as much or as little of your books as you like.</p>
<p>As for The Book Markeitng Network, I don't mind you plugging your work by including a link on any post you make on this discussion or any and all of my reviews-as long as you take the time to read them and post a relevant comment :-)</p>

<p>Ian,</p>
<p>I understand how 'frustrating' social media time can seem. I realize, at the end of the day, most people are hoping that their efforts here and on other sites will equal at least a few book sales for them.</p>
<p>It would be great if all we had to do was write and edit our own novels, and they would just sell themselves. I agree with you that the networking and promoting diverts from energies that could be spent creating and perfecting our own works.</p>

<p>However, with a projected estimate of over 500,000 new ebooks being published in 2015 alone and the future bringing more and more new indie writers to the scene, we have to do what we can to get noticed. </p>
