The analogy about politicians canvassing is brilliant. It really does feel like that sometimes... and like you, I tend to be unable to do both at the same time. Iām either in creating mode or promo mode. I do NOT like to mix them. They require such different sides of my brain. And even though the promo is part of the job, I will never stop feeling kind of awkward about it. Completely agree that the best thing we can do is to work on the next book. The writing is definitely the only thing we can control. š¤
