Okay, I could be wrong about this, however it seems that there is a growing obsession with marketing activities and tools. This can mean that all the other important aspects needed to market your brand effectively may be ignored. Take this quick quiz to see if you are getting a little obsessed.

Hi Yoni,

There is no failure and many of us do look at the counts and other stats. I think being a writer is tough and I do admire your tenacity as many others would just give up at the first 5 or 10 rejections. Celebrate your wins.

I passed the test! The only one I failed is the obsession with having my posts liked. I get self-esteem from those that get 200, 300, 400 views in the first week. Those that don't? I ask myself what I did wrong and obsess. I really need to get the view-counter off of my blog and stop being so obsessive :)

It also comes with the territory of being a writer. I have submitted to journals and periodicals that accept on average one out of every 2,500 pieces of short fiction or poetry. It's tough. My fiend Jacob Appell, considered the most successful short story writer of this decade, has had over 150 pieces of short fiction published. He also has over 10,000 rejection letters. The odds can make you obsessive!

Also, the average response time for fiction submissions can be up to five months. That's a lot of waiting for the rejection letter that is sure to follow. It can make you crazy. And it transfers to my blogging.
