Today’s post, of course, is brought to you by the letter E in the A to Z Challenge and while I did come up with a whole lot of E words I feel these three are enough and most important. Exposure, while being fully respectable and modest, is what drives an author to having a […]
Dedication and Determination
Both are so important so I couldn’t decide (decision is yet another good D topic) which to focus on so I’ll talk about both for this installment of the A to Z Blogging Challenge. Dedication is something I lack and make up for with determination. The opposite of dedication to me is excuse and I […]
Contests and Should You Enter
As you know, I’m participating in the 2018 A to Z Challenge this month so this is my second, and post I should have written long ago. Contests… Contests in general are something people either enter or don’t, with the excuse that they never win yet I wonder how they think they will win if […]
Building an Audience
Blogging for Business is such a long term goal that’s hard to keep in mind but I am inspired by all of you and all of the potential readers so I keep going, sporadically more than anything, but continuously. Blogging is just one small aspect of building a business and it’s challenging when you don’t […]
Aspirations
A is a very common start of many words related to being an author and writing so when I signed up for the A to Z Challenge I contemplated the A word most. It could easily be for April – the month this challenge is beginning, A is for Author, and Author Platform, Ability, Absolute, […]
Like Vampires? Meet Alberta J McMorris
This is Alberta J McMorris… well, as she’s camera shy, this is her “portrait of the author as a border collie” which I love just simply because as authors we are commonly so camera shy but she found away around it. When did your, dare I say, fascination with vampires start? I think it really […]
I Saw The Forest
Have you ever related to the saying “I couldn’t see the forest through the trees”? Always stressing about the little steps, the minor decisions and never really standing back to take it all in? I struggle with the idea of knowing what I want out of life and just not seeing enough progress through all […]
Brenda Novak Is One of a Kind
Not only is Novak an outstanding author, she is such a great person with a wonderful team and group of fans supporting her. I am in awe of her talents and effort as well as her outreach in general. I can’t believe I haven’t reviewed a book of hers yet as I have read and […]
International Women’s Day
There are a lot of reasons I am writing this post today – women are awesome (though men are, too), I have a few very influential women in my life, women have a voice beyond the victimized version we hear of most, and I, as a woman, have the freedom to share and be a […]
New Year, New You?
It’s now the tenth day of 2018 and boy, where did the time go? I still remember being impressed with writing “’00” on my assignments at school and now, 18 years later, so much has changed yet equally, I feel stayed the same. This year I didn’t write down resolutions, I didn’t yet write a […]
