How To Know If You SUCK!!!

At EPICon next month, I'll be participating on a panel discussion about "Etiquette For Authors." I thought I would share a helpful little tidbit right here.

If you participate in a group signing--oh, let's say that it was for the Florida Horror Writers this past Saturday--and one person does pretty much all the work in setting up the event--oh, let's call him Aaron Bennett--and then you go on your blog and post "My Barnes & Noble signing went great!" without acknowledging that it was an event for--just for argument's sake--the Florida Horror Writers, then you SUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK.

Also, promotion = good. Bragging = bad. Incessantly, relentessly bragging without really having all that much to brag about = wonderful entertainment for the sarcastic onlookers, but you really should tone it down a bit, y'know?

Now I've used up all of my ideas for what to say on the panel. Bummer.
