You're too busy writing the next book to worry about Googling yourself all the time.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Google is fascinating, and the book isn't finished. I'm creating, living, building, and writing those chapters.
Googling yourself is maybe one of the worst things you can do. I did it once, and someone had to talk me off a ledge.
I wish there were a hundred services with which I could easily look at such a book; it would have saved me a lot of time, and it would have spared Google a tremendous amount of effort.
It's nice to have something else going on when a book comes out so you're not just sitting by the phone, waiting for things to happen. You don't want to be the guy Googling himself all day.
Eeew, I'd be a little uncomfortable Googling myself. People sit there - and Google themselves? That's kind of weird.
Never index your own book.
By Googling myself, I'm not going to find anything I like.
That's why I haven't been so anxious. But now, lots of people write and say, 'I want to find out what you're doing.' So I know that this book will enlighten them.
When in my writing lair, I have no access to the Web. Otherwise, I'm like one of those lab rats on too much sugar. To compile my Google searches would be to see my sludgy, allusive brain at work.
If Google Books is successful, others will follow.
