I finished the last chapter of my rough draft today. Yay! I’m taking tomorrow off to do all things Christmas — shopping, wrapping, cards, Christmas letter, decorating — and then get back to work on revising this book on Saturday.

Here’s a link to an interesting poll about what types of things have led book buyers to buy books. Based on this and what I’ve heard experienced authors say, I think I’ll just save my promotional dollars and not do postcards and all those do-dads you find in goody rooms at conferences. I may do bookmarks, but I think I’ll mainly depend on my Web site (planning to get a new one) and personal appearances to do the heavy promo lifting.
