Big V Mumbles About Something

Nothing like posting something meant for one blog area and posting it in another. I posted my post meant for here in my Ramblings area, but that's alright, the main idea was to tell you that I was 'taking a break' thee for a day or three while I finished up something else.

It's twenty three degrees outside with about three inches of new snow and it's still snowing hard. The wind was really blowing last night with the cold front blwoing in off the big lake (Lake Superior) but with Lake Michigan twenty miles to the south and Lake Superior thirty miles to the north, wind...

I stayed up late last night to work on my NaNo and by the time I went to bed, I was at 45,000 words. I think I can coast from here. I was on a hot roll and things were flowing well. We'll see where it goes. In the meantime, I'm going to work some more on my "How to Write So Good You Make Stevie King... Sign in to see full entry.

In my relentless pursuit of figuring out Twitter and chase book sales, I found something that I am going to try and I will report back on how it works. I had begun to follow as many writers out there as I could and was always seeing this hashtag #RRBC. It got so I was seeing it so often, it made me... Sign in to see full entry.

This little post is destined for my 'how to write' e-book. I should post it in my 'On Writing' blog, but I am just starting my advice on how to promote your book. (Short answer? Study PT Barnum!)

As some of you know, I've been posting my first actually published book, "Things My Father Taught Me - Lessons In Life." My main reason was to redo the book, fix a few 'broken' things and add new material for its... Sign in to see full entry.

I had shut everything down about 7PM and was watching something when an idea came to me and I began to write some more. Three hours later, another 1700 words in my NaNo! While I'm at it, I sent out another tweet that explains my Twitter push campaign to bring more people to Blog-It. Sign in to see full entry.

The ol' NaNo has reached 36,000 words. I may begin to post this here once I get done. I know that it will need (a lot) of editing and a long check of story continuity, but it might go over well here. I'm going to try something over on Twitter. As you may have read somewhere on my blatherings, I... Sign in to see full entry.

I found an interesting podcast. In fact, after I listened to the first chapter, I emailed my male Audible producer the link with the idea he look into something like this. You can just listen on a desktop/laptop but you have to download some software if you are using a cell phone or tablet. This... Sign in to see full entry.

I had a sale on six of my favorite ebooks over the weekend and I'm well pleased with the results. I'm also amazed at which story sold the most. I expected it to be "Johnny Robot" or "The Totally Unnecessary Death of Amanda Dawn," which came in second and third respectively. Oddly enough, the run... Sign in to see full entry.
