Hey man it looks like you really enjoy what you are doing -- your response tells me that.
I think your response is very sensible. Often authors look at trips as failures if they are unable to recover all of their expenses through book sales.
Out of town trips can be great for promotion as well -- perhas more valuable than the book sales it your work the fair properly. Indeed, one can be taught how to work a book fair or trade show to there advantage.
Even in my case; I did not sell a single thing in Houston, but I felt reaching out to an audience in another part of the country was well worth the trip. Plus I got to tour a city which I've never previously visited.
I walked Texas Southern's campus, took a tour of Nasa ("whitey" is going to Mars y'all), I ate at Papa Deauxs (sp?), and hung out in a couple of local clubs, etc. |
