Coming from someone who should probably be described as ‘social-network challenged’, I’m just wondering, in a general way, when it would be appropriate to start my Author Site.
Mostly, I’m setting up such a thing because it’s ‘expected’. For me, it’s all about the fiction itself; everything else is window dressing. As of today, I have in my ‘catalogue’ three completed short stories, and one novella that might be about a quarter done. (I’ve also got an essay on the history of my world, about 31,000 words, but not fit for human consumption.) I’m working on another short story that looks like it might be my best yet. I would like to get a few more shorts, finish the novella, and then start on the novel.
I don’t feel quite ready to send out any of the completed stories yet–I’d like to finish a couple more and then pick the best one or two to submit.
Is it time yet to start the Author site? Or should I maybe wait until I’ve made a start on the novel, and sent out a story or two?
