Today I start my editing journey. I’ve had the book back from the editor for a while, but I put off the editing because I had a lot of other things on my plate and I didn’t want to be distracted from giving my all to the book. I chose September as my editing month and also created an Editing challenge to keep me motivated. I’m nervous about what the editor has to say, but

Today is all about social media tips. For me social media works when I schedule my posts. Scheduling keeps me consistent and I don’t have to worry about if I’m promoting or not.

I use to post
One of my biggest issues with dealing with fear is admitting that I dealt with fear. I called it procrastination, lateness, I’ll do it tomorrow, or I’m gonna do it. It was easy to call it a different name than what it was – FEAR. I’m a Christian, we’re not supposed to fear anything but God. Unfortunately that’s not true. There are a lot of Christians dealing with fear; some are probably calling it everything
Yesterday was National Book Lovers Day. If you know me, you know I love me some books. On my FB profile I asked my FB family to share what book series they hated to see end. I’m going to share a few books here. The Little House On The Prairie Series by Laura Ingalls Wilder. This was my first book series.

Today I celebrate one year as a published author and as a book publisher. I want to share a few lessons I learned on the way. Everybody Is Not Your Reader – I teach this to my promotion clients, and I’m so glad I constantly reminded myself of this lesson daily. You want everybody to buy your book but everybody is not going to buy your book. Especially those you supported in the past. Just
If you know me, you know I love a good group. I even host a few groups myself. I’ve made some amazing connections from the groups I’m in and I’ve met many clients from these groups. For the next few Thursdays, I will be sharing some of my favorite groups with you. My advice is to check them out. See if they are a good fit for you, and then participate. Groups are about participating,

The I’m gonna bug has hit me this week. I’m gonna write, but it hasn’t happen. I’ve been working on the Produce*Publish*Promotion summit so that has my brain clogged. I found my research I did for the story, so I’m hoping that will help with creating new scenes. Next week is vacation time. I’m doing a staycation but I’m also going to turn it to a mini writer retreat because my mind has been on

I received the dreaded revision letter. I put off reading it for a few days. My editor sent me an email asking was I Ok. I laughed because I hadn’t read it so I didn’t know if I was OK or not.
