How Long Do You Give Away Promo Freebies?

For you writer friends, how long do you let your freebies run for?  A few days?  A couple of weeks?  I am thinking since this will be the first of many pubs and I am an unknown, a couple of weeks.  I am revising this story one more time before I launch it.  Nope, this one is not in the Antojitos section, but I may couple it with "Paranoia:  The Corrido of Andrea Quinta", since that story has been up on my author site for some time.

It's a test launch before I weave and spin out "La Bruja del Barrio Loco."

This morning I worked on The Harvest, which is coming along nicely.  It really is an overhaul from previous versions.  I have been writing and rewriting this novel for so many years now, but now, I've hit my stride.  I will finish this draft by June 2018, no doubt.

This morning, I had Ashley meet the rebellion.  It will be a short interaction because Ashley needs to finish her candidacy.  Besides, she has unfinished business with Dean Andreanna, that vile bitch.  I have also had her contact Alan, which again will only be temporary because Alan is about to encounter more struggles.  So stay tuned!

Well, this morning, I am taking my son to school, so I have to cut this one short.  Plus, I have to clean the house.  It looks like teenagers live here, which they do not. 

We are going on another trip, so I want to leave my house in relatively good order.  This trip is awesome for me because it will mean more time to write and to read to a captive audience in the car along the way.  Ha ha ha.

Keep that action moving!  #Resist!
