I was all getting ready to start blogging about specific techniques for promotion, and then I realized something, I never actually shared which techniques I'm currently using! So I modified the list, re-wrote it some, and wrote whether or not the activities listed are one's that I'm currently participating in or not.
I've also decided before I start reviewing different techniques I'm going to talk a little bit about time management and planning. So look for that blog to come soon!

Great list of what you do and don't do. You definitely have to plan your time and find what really works for your creations.
Geez, my head is spinning. Now I know why I never have much time for creating!
