Nonetheless, if you get desperate and want to slum, you're always welcome--of course.<br /><br />Best Wishes, Galen.joe doaks-Authorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05283066862112820202noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3632878082669459487.post-42212120372153558822010-02-19T17:19:43.704-05:002010-02-19T17:19:43.704-05:00When you're done with the tour, I hope you'...When you're done with the tour, I hope you'll report on the stress level that goes with preparing all those posts and then monitoring each site when the post goes up.

I've been taking notes...<br /><br />Jack - Why can't we just lock ourselves into a room and write? KnowwhatImean? Thanks for the offer--I'll contact you offline.<br /><br />Jane - Thanks for the logo kudo. Maybe if I could just get my message across with Photoshop doodles, I'd be fine! Thanks for your offer; I shall contact you offline, too.<br /><br />Margot - I don't know about the hardest, but promoting is certainly time consuming! More so than I would have imagined.

It looks as if you'll be a busy man over the next little while.

That's the hardest part of being a writer, I think. I love your blog tour plans and I'll be honored to host a "stop" if you'd like to pay <i>Confessions...</i> a visit.
