Top Ten Twitter Tweets of May 2, 2020

 

Good Authoring Day to YOU 

Here in Denver, warm weather has landed. At last. Most of us have our fingers crossed that we don’t have a surprise freeze land that eliminates the promise of new growth. For me, the first thing I do at sunup is emerge on my back deck for “my morning survey” … has any new growth surfaced? On my daily walk in my neighborhood –first to say hello to other walkers—the human connection as one of us stands in the street, the other on the sidewalk—a quick catch up, my eyes search for one of my favorite reveals. “What,” you ask.

Why the new green glow that the trees quietly pour forth. So far, it’s not there. But each day, I’m on the hunt for the promise.

Today, I’m looking forward to getting “caught up” on all things audiobooks with Richard Rieman. Starting at 10 am Mountain time, it was originally planned for an “in person” workshop. Hope you are signed up.

And … my Speaking Unplugged is not slated for Friday and Saturday June 26-27 in Denver. Details are on my website under Events: www.TheBookShepherd.com. We will be setting it up for “space” between seats.

 

Join me for the MAY How to Write a Nonfiction Book in 4 Weeks—it’s on my website—www.TheBookShepherd.com—there are only 4 slots left. We meet on Wednesdays via Zoom at 3 pm Mountain time and starts of May 6th.

 

 

Alert to all of you in Colorado who are VIP AuthorYOU members … the April second Saturday AuthorYOU Salons of the year is slated for May 9 may be live or virtual … depending on the Governor of Colorado. Either way, it starts at 8.30 a.m., ending at 11.30 a.m.

If it’s on Zoom—I’ll post the link (copy and paste in your browser) in the first Top Twitter blog for May 2nd.

Have a good week. How about planning a “campaign” of some sort? It can be to sell your book, eBook, audiobook … or a “gather” of doing something for someone else, a group, or a cause.

 

Take care of yourself …
