Wonderful, Jena! So glad to see you here this month and stay in touch. Any questions, you know where I am. 🙂
ReplyI don’t need the book as I already bought it! But I just wanted to say thank you for all the amazing advice and information I’ve picked up from you over the years. It has really helped me with platform building and creating a marketing plan. So, thank you
ReplyThank YOU so much, Ailish, for the support! I’m so happy to be of help to you.
ReplyI’m in an existentialist mode right now. Taking all the advice this month – learned a HUGE amount from Blaise Ramsey, and now trying to figure out my next life steps. I say that because my husband is in hospice with an end date that no one knows. I am with him as much as I can be – we have been best friends for nearly 43 years. But I know there is life on the other side, and I need to be thinking about that. This month has been valuable for advice – I am currently working at rebranding myself (Modern Renaissance Woman)to incorporate my varied interests. The next big decision is fiction or non-fiction. I usually believe life is not an either-or proposition, but for now, I need to focus where a potential income stream will be and work toward that. I have been so pleased with this month and all you have done. Everything is saved for future reviews and actions. THank you.
ReplyThank you for your kind comments, Linda, and sharing where you are in your life. I’m sorry about your husband. Such a difficult place to be. Sending you love and support at this difficult time. Your writing career will be here. For now, journaling may be a big help for you (in whatever form works best). More formal writing and marketing can come later. hugs.
ReplyAs Mona Lisa Vito said in “My Cousin Vinny”, this is dead-on, balls-accurate. 🙂
ReplyThank you, Garry! (and love that movie). I appreciate, as always, your wonderful support.
ReplyTreating my author world as a business is the only reason that I’ve lasted this long. I’m in it for the long haul. But I often wish I had a map to narrow down my marketing directions – or just validate if I’m heading in the right direction. Uuuggg.
ReplyThat’s a smart way to view it, Dena. It is a long haul and therefore an investment in yourself. Defining your author branding is a big help in that regard. Once you establish that, you’ll be more clear in your marketing direction. xx
ReplyI’ve really been enjoying the posts this month – I’ve learned a lot! Though I still have a NF book languishing on Amazon, and I’m working on another. I would love the chance to do book marketing in the right way. Or at least have a direction to go in, because marketing isn’t my strong suit. (Yet!)
ReplySo glad you learned a lot, Jennifer! Me, too. Book marketing isn’t as difficult as many writers anticipate it to be – it’s more that it takes effort. You can do it! Thanks for participating in #NaNoProMo.
ReplyRachel, thank you so much for all your hard work in putting together this month long series of great info, and giveaways I’ve learned so much, met some new people and even won a giveaway. Cool! I missed a few posts along the way but I’ll be going back to them. Truly appreciate your generosity and knowledge.
ReplyI have tried to get in the habit of writing one page a day, so I at least write something every day. I write more if I can.
