My frat brother Ray, is sending me his plan for marketing Friends With Benefits. As I told you earlier, I hate in store booksignings. Boring for the author, and boring for the reader coming to see the author. So, we're going to do some off site signings and gatherings. I'm going to ten cities, and an alcohol company (yet to be determined) is going to host a series of "Friends With Benefits" nights. Readers can buy a book, get a drink, mingle with others, and then ask me questions. It's a simple change, but it should get the buzz going (both with the contents of the book and the effects of the alcohol) much better than simply sitting them in chairs and fielding questions. Combining this strategy with my killer ap should get some results in terms of book sales.
I have set an internal date of June 15th for the completion of my porn book. Even told my agent that, so I'm under the pressure. But I have no excuse for lagging, since this is what I call the "sports dead period". Nothing should distract me. But it's around three in the afternoon, and I still haven't added a word to the porn manuscript. It's too damn hot here in Los Angeles, and suddenly, I'm interested in the beauty of the Preakness and the conforts of air conditioning. Damn this procrastination...
